Abstract
What is provided is a cargo bicycle apparatus and a kit for converting an existing bicycle into a cargo bicycle. The cargo bicycle apparatus comprises a cargo attachment that easily attaches and detaches from an existing bicycle to make the existing bicycle more utilitarian and functional. The cargo attachment connects with the existing bicycle in a way that prevents damage or permanent modification to the existing bicycle. Since no specialized tools or mechanical skills are required in the assembly of the cargo bicycle apparatus, the cargo attachment provides the operator with greater convenience and flexibility for converting an existing bicycle into a cargo bicycle apparatus. In addition, the cargo attachment is configured to automatically adjust to the geometry of nearly all existing bicycles without having to modify the geometry of the cargo attachment to match the geometry of a particular bicycle.
