Abstract

A three axis bicycle-to-trailer connecting device which a flexible connecting mechanism includes three axes of rotation each implemented by a different pivot. Such a pivot may be implemented on an independent connecting device or on the trailer or on the bicycle. A retaining mechanism keeps the trailer linked to the bicycle, in such a manner as the trailer may be easily connected or disconnected, typically to be carried manually.
