A hitch for attaching a trailer to a bicycle comprises a mounting bracket adapted to be releasably attached to a chain stay of the bicycle frame and a resiliently flexible coupling member of an elastomeric material attached to the mounting bracket and adapted to be attached to a boom tube that is in turn attached to the trailer. The coupling member provides universal articulation between the mounting bracket and the boom tube. The mounting bracket includes a bracket body member having a chain stay-engaging portion and a coupling attachment portion extending from the chain stay-engaging portion, the coupling being attached to the attachment portion of the bracket body, a bracket claw member having a chain stay-engaging portion, the claw member being pivotally coupled adjacent one end of the chain stay-engaging portion thereof to the body member, and a releasable/adjustable fastener coupled between the chain stay-engaging portion of the bracket body member and the other end of the chain stay-engaging portion of the claw member for selectively connecting the chain stay-engaging portions of the body member and claw member to each other in clamped relation to the chain stay.
