Bicycle for transporting a child with increased stability

摘要

The aim of the invention is to improve the stability of bicycles fitted with at least one seat for transporting children, by re-centering and lowering the centre of gravity of the child via a specific frame structure, optionally in combination with a choice of reduced wheel diameters and/or an increase in the spacing of the pedals. The location for the feet (31) of the child is inside the supporting structure (9, 10′) of the bicycle linking the seat tube (4′) to the rear wheel axle (14).
