A sliding foot for mounting to the underside of a bicycle to assist the rider in performing certain types of acrobatic stunts. The foot is mounted to the bicycle frame directly below the main pedal hub and extends down toward the ground in the space between the front and back wheels. The foot is comprised of a rigid structural member to which a surface engaging member is attached. The rigid structural member may be welded directly to the underside of a bicycle's frame members or may be attached thereto by a plurality of clasps. The surface engaging member is essentially a narrow, elongated piece of material, preferably a durable thermoplastic, secured to the bottom of the rigid structural member and provides the rider with a contoured lower side, with rounded edges, on which to engage objects while riding. The surface engaging member is easily removed and replaced if damaged after repeated contacts with harsh surfaces. The contoured lower side may be presented as essentially flat with round edges, a plurality of curved surfaces with round edges or a plurality of wheels in an in-line configuration, each providing the rider with different performance characteristics.
