1. In combination with a bicycle having a front wheel and a rear wheel both rotatably coupled to a frame assembly with two frame members disposed proximal to one of the at least two wheels, the improvement comprising:
a cantilevered handle member with a first free end, with a second end opposing the first free end, with a handle member length separating the first free end and the second end, and disposed laterally adjacent to and extending in a direction outwardly away from the rear wheel and terminating at the first free end disposed above the rear wheel;
a first attachment plate directly coupled to the cantilevered handle member, with an upper first plate end, a lower first plate end opposing the upper first plate end, a first plate length separating the upper and lower first plate ends, a left first plate side, a right first plate side opposing the left first plate side, a first plate width separating the left and right first plate sides, with a first plate lower U-shaped clip rotatably coupled to the first attachment plate in a cantilevered configuration, defining a first plate adjustment channel spanning longitudinally along the first plate length, and a first plate upper U-shaped clip vertically adjustable within the first plate adjustment channel and disposed in a cantilevered configuration with respect to the first attachment plate; and
a second attachment plate with an upper second plate end, a lower second plate end opposing the upper second plate end, a second plate length separating the upper and lower second plate ends, a left second plate side, a right second plate side opposing the left second plate side, a second plate width separating the left and right second plate sides, with a second plate lower U-shaped clip rotatably coupled to the second attachment plate in a cantilevered configuration, defining a second plate adjustment channel spanning longitudinally along the second plate length, and a second plate upper U-shaped clip vertically adjustable within the second plate adjustment channel and disposed in a cantilevered configuration with respect to the second attachment plate, the first attachment plate and the second attachment plate coupled together with a plurality of plate fasteners in a plate attachment configuration that includes the first plate lower U-shaped clip and the second plate lower U-shaped clip collectively compressively retaining at least one of the two frame members disposed proximal to one of the at least two wheels and the first plate upper U-shaped clip and the second plate upper U-shaped clip compressively retaining at least one of the two frame members disposed proximal to one of the at least two wheels.
