    However, the easy-to-install device for a bicycle is a temporary child seat where a bicycle driver attaches an infant seat or pet carrier to a support and moves the infant seat or pet carrier on the infant seat or pet carrier. Or when the pet carrier is not used, a tool is required for the driver to remove the support base in order to drive the bicycle comfortably, and it is difficult to secure a place to temporarily store the removed support base. There is a problem.

    The present invention relates to a bicycle carrier that can be used to comfortably drive the bicycle when the bicycle driver temporarily does not use the bicycle carrier disposed between the bicycle saddle and the steering wheel. An object of the present invention is to provide a bicycle carrier mounting means capable of turning a post or a seat tube around a saddle around an axis.

    As a means for solving the above-described problems, the present invention provides a bicycle carrier mounting means for mounting a bicycle carrier disposed between a bicycle saddle and a handle to the bicycle. And a horizontal post and a seat post clamp that can be fixed to and unlocked from a bicycle seat post so that the support can be rotated to the lower side of the bicycle seat post or the upper side of the seat tube. It is equipped with a clamp that can be attached and fixed and unlocked, and a support rod that extends from the front side of the clamp toward the bicycle handlebar, and the front side of the seatpost clamp and the rear end of the horizontal rod are connected in a freely rotating manner in the front-rear direction. The left and right sides near the center of the horizontal rod and the upper end of the connection bracket are rotatably connected in the front-rear direction, and the lower end of the connection bracket and the support rod A bicycle carrier that is rotatably connected to the left and right sides of the front end in the front-rear direction and rotates between the bicycle saddle and the handle, and the bicycle seat post or seat tube as the axis. be able to.

    According to the present invention, when the bicycle driver does not temporarily use the bicycle carrier disposed between the bicycle saddle and the steering wheel, the bicycle carrier is used as the saddle with the bicycle seat post or the seat tube as an axis. The driver can drive the bicycle comfortably by turning backward.
