主权项

1. A modular bicycle and board apparatus comprising a body, a front wheel and a rear wheel associated with the body, and handlebars associated with the body and the front wheel and configured to steer the front wheel, wherein the front wheel and the handlebars are removably associated with the body and with each other, wherein the body has a shape, a size, a strength and buoyancy characteristics of a board configured to support a user and prevent sinking when the user is positioned on top of the body while the modular bicycle and board apparatus is floating in water, in a surfboard mode, and also to function as a bicycle frame when the modular bicycle and board apparatus is used by the user in a bicycle mode, wherein the body has two opposite sides, a top side for receiving the user and a bottom side for contact with the water when the modular bicycle and board apparatus is in the surfboard mode, wherein the user can convert the modular bicycle and board apparatus from the bicycle mode to the surfboard mode by associating the front wheel and the handlebars with the body such that the front wheel extends from the bottom side into the water and the handlebars extend above the top side for use by the user to steer the modular bicycle and board apparatus in the water.
