The improved bicycle frame is designed for adult bicycles. It is made of single tubes only. The chainstay and the seatstay are of slightly larger diameters than the neck tube, top tube, down tube, and seat tube. This is so because more than half of the load is carried in the rear part of the bicycle. Therefore, the chainstay and the seatstay are the stronger members of the frame. The fork for the rear wheel is attached at an angle of 45Â in order to reduce the vertical component of the load at the rear. The improved bicycle frame is designed to have small wheels only. The wheels are less than half the diameters of the big wheels in use today. The small wheels reduce the effort needed to push the pedals. The improved bicycle frame is strong, sturdy, and stable. The bicycle using the improved bicycle frame is a quality bicycle.

A ratchet crank, operated by a ratchet and pawl, is made from a bicycle freewheel that is modified to have a handle integral to the rotating drum, in lieu of the sprockets. It is used for turning continuously a wheel's hub, a wheel's axle and a crankset's axle/spindle with a gear, in vehicle on land and/or water; by a backward and forward movement of its handle. When the handle is pulled back, the pawls slide over the ratchets; and when the handle is pushed forward, the pawls catch in the ratchets, taking them along forward. Ratchet cranks have different shapes of central openings depending on the shape of the object it is applied to. Vehicles may have one or two ratchet crank in use. When only one is in use, the handle may be lengthen for an operator in a standing or sitting position. Or, the handle may be short for an operator in a standing or sitting position. With two ratchet cranks, a left hand side and a right hand side are in use. A pivot assembly that is arrached to the body of the vehicle is needed to make the two ratchet cranks alternately move up and down.

A new use of a bicycle freewheel is for rotating a wheel's hub or a wheel's axle or a crankset's axle/spindle. There are three Embodiments of the bicycle freewheel, namely: Embodiment # 1 in FIG. a bicycle crankset without the two cranks with pedals and instead a handle is attached at the right hand side of a crankset's axle/spindle. The chainwheel is connected to a bicycle freewheel's sprockets by a chain. The bicycle freewheel is attaching to a bicycle wheel's hub. In operation, the handle moves backward and forward taking with it the axle, the chainwheel, and the bicycle freewheel in the same motion. Embodiment # 2 in FIG. a bicycle crankset without the two cranks with pedals, and instead a bicycle freewheel with a handle is attached to the crankset's axle/spindle using an adapter. The chainwheel is connected to a bicycle freewheel by a chain. The bicycle freewheel is attaching to a bicycle wheel's hub. In operation, the handle moves backward and forward; but the axle, chainwheel, and the bicycle freewheel attaching to a wheel's hub do not move backwards; they only move forward. Embodiment # 3 in FIG. a bicycle freewheel with a chainwheel at the rotating drum, is centrally attaching to a crankset's axle/spindle using an adapter. A handle is attaching to the crankset's axle/spindle at the right hand side with the bicycle freewheel. In operation, the handle moves backward and forward taking with it in the forward movement the rotating drum with the chainwheel.

A tricycle (FIG. ) is made by transforming Balajadia's bicycle (FIG. ) into a tricycle. This was done by removing the rear wheel fork attached at the chain stay member and discarding it. In its place, the following were attached to the chain stay member under it: a 16 inch long, 1.25 inch diameter tube pipe was attached at the underside of the chain stay member at its middle. Then the break handles (BrH) were attached to both sides at the edge at a right angle, horizontally positioned and pointing to the rear. Next the two 2 inch pieces were attached one at each side to the end of the 11 inch tube pipe (BrH) at a right angle. An axle inch in diameter and 2 feet long was reduced at both ends to 7/16 inch in diameter, 3.5 inches long. inches long from the end was threaded oppositely, one clockwise and the other counterclockwise. A bicycle freewheel adapter was attached to the axle 2 inches from the center, then the bicycle freewheel was threaded on the bicycle freewheel adapter. Then the axle was inserted to a right bearing (B) and then the free end was attached to the bearing holder (BH) 4 inches from the middle. Then a stopper (S) was attached to the axle next to (B). A second bearing (B) was inserted to the left of the bicycle freewheel and the loose end was attached to the bearing holder (BH) at 4 inches from the center. Then a stopper (S) was attached to the axle next to it (B). The stopper prevents the axle from moving sideways by more than ⅛ of an inch. Then the two wheelchair wheels were inserted at both ends of the axle. The two nuts were threaded in to hold the wheelchair wheels in place tightly. A chain was placed so that the chainwheel and the bicycle freewheel are connected. The mode of operation of a tricycle with a bicycle transmission system in it is the same as in operating a bicycle.

The balance of a bicycle is obtained by having two front wheels instead of one. The two front wheels are set apart but are connected by the same controller arm at the shoulders. The controller arm is a tube 1 inch in diameter and 18 inches long. The controller arm is attached at the middle to the bottom of the steerer tube and at the top of the steerer tube are attached the left and right handles. At both ends of the controller arm are the shoulders of the two pairs of forks for the two wheels. As is usual, the two front wheels are turned by using the handle bars.

A front drive train bicycle has practically the parts of a simple bicycle. The major difference is in the location of the drive train. The front drive train bicycle has a steerer tube extension (38) where the bottom bracket shell. (22) is attached. A crankset consisting of a bottom bracket (21), a chainwheel (24), crank arm (52), and pedals (54) is attached to the bottom bracket shell (22). A rear wheel (32) with its gear or freewheel (28) is attached to the fork tips (42). A chain (26) connects the chainwheel (24) to the rear wheel gear or freewheel (28). A front wheel (34) is attached to the rear dropouts (44). A down tube stay (30) is used instead of a chainstay (20). The front drive train bicycle has a shorter overall length because there is no bottom bracket between the two wheels and also because it uses relatively smaller wheels. It is also lighter in weight because of these. It requires less space for parking and storing away.

A "Unique" bicycle is basically a bicycle having three bottom bracket shells namely, a first bottom bracket shell (70) for the crankset (57), located at the down tube (40), a second bottom bracket shell (72) for the first converter (FIG. 6) located at the bottom end of the seat tube (42), and a third bottom bracket shell (74) for the second converter (FIG. 7), located at about the middle of the seat tube (42). Three separate chains are used to interconnect all the gears. The first chain (62) connects the chainwheel (58) to the first converter's small gear (22) and its large gear (24) is connected to the second converter's small gear (22) by means of the second chain (62), while the large gear (24) is connected to the rear wheel gear (64) by means of the third chain (62). The "Unique" bicycle has a slightly longer top tube (36) and its down tube (40) is also longer but is bent horizontally at the lower portion in order to position the crankset (57) farther away from the saddle (48) so as to provide a comfortable, erect, sitting position for the rider similar to that of a motorcycle. The converters make it possible to easily pick up speed and less tiring to maintain top speeds for prolonged periods of time.
