The Swing Bike is a brand of bicycle which allowed for steering at both the front wheel and the rear wheel.[1][2] The design was patented by Ralph Belden in 1974,[3] brought to market in 1975, and discontinued by 1978.[4]
A swingbike or swing bike (common noun) has been genericized to come to mean any bike with a second steering axis in front of the saddle.[5][6] A new bicycle by the same name has been launched by Americas Bike Co. in San Diego, California.[7]
The original Swing Bike was in the wheelie bike style,[8] and the Swing Bike company also offered a normally-steered BMX bike in 1977.[9] An early working name for the Swing Bike as Pivicycle.[10]
