The disclosure relates to a stabilizer attachment for a bicycle, and includes a clevis or furcated member positionable over a bicycle wheel and affixed to the wheel axle. A stabilizer mast projects upwardly from the clevis member and a ring-like loop member is adapted to be used in conjunction with the stabilizer mast. The loop member is preferably hand-held in a circumscribing position with relation to the mast so that the periphery of the loop member is spaced from the mast and a person holding the loop member and moving alongside the bicycle can use the periphery of the loop member to engage the stabilizer mast when it is desired to prevent the bicycle, while in motion, from tipping over and to thereby restore the cyclist's balance. In an alternate embodiment the stabilizer mast is provided at one end with a rotatably mounted loop member. A suspended cable is passed through the loop member so that the periphery of the loop member will engage the cable when the bicycle tends to tip over and will thus stabilize the bicycle as it moves along a path parallel to the cable.
