Be it known that I, PARDON W. TILLING- HAST, a citizen of the United States, residing at Providence, in the State of Rhode Island, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Bicycles, of which the following is a specification.

To the under edge of the plate E, at the outer end of the pedal D, is pivoted the supporting-brace F, which may be either made in one piece, as shown in Fig. 4, or be made in two pieces, soas to be extensible, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, in which the part a is jointed to the plate E, and the part Z), which is made spreading at its lower end, or forked, is provided with a slot 0 and secured to the part a by means of a bolt or screw d, so that the part b will be made adjustable with the part a.
