An adaptor bar includes a retractable tube unit. Two end parts are respectively connected to two respective ends of the tube unit. Two C-shaped hooks are respectively fixed to the two ends of the tube unit. Each hook includes a first connection portion. Two plates are respectively connected to the two end parts. Each plate includes a first section, a second section and a third section. The second section is formed inclinedly between the first and third sections. The third section of each plate is fixed to the end part corresponding thereto. The first section of each plate is removably engaged with the first connection portion of the hook by sliding the end part. The first section includes a first recess and a second recess. The second recess is located close to the second section and includes a recessed reinforcement which reinforces a portion between the first and second sections.

The present invention relates to a saddle for vehicles, such as bicycles or motorcycles, including a seat component defining a support surface for a user and a base component or felt to which the seat component is constrained or connected, the saddle then including a printed circuit.

A bicycle cross bar adaptor includes a first tube, a second tube and a control unit. The control unit is located between the first and second tubes. Each of the first and second tubes has a hook connected thereto. The second tube has a groove defined axially in an outer surface thereof. The control unit includes a collar in which the first and second tubes are slidably inserted with each other. A hole is defined through the wall of the collar and a block is located in the hole. A block is located in the hole and removably engaged with the groove. A lever is pivotably connected to the collar and has a cam portion to perform as a quick-release to position the block in the groove or away from the groove to adjust the second tube relative to the first sleeve.
