Instead of putting the bike on the side, when you stop to
rest, and sitting on an uncomfortable rock, let your bike
join the fun.
This chair folds out from the connection bar. Perhaps
one
foot short and one long, with the "hammock" leveled, by
"correcting threads".
Please see my initial
drawing in the quarterbakery link.
The link leads to an animation showing how it folds, (and
how I drew the bike with my dysfunctional laptop
touchpad).
I'm not shooting out too many ideas anymore... started
using the "pashutery" quarterbakery blog, after
[bigsleep]'s remark.
Call for halfbaker's designs, and thoughts how to make
this
extremely lightweight and simple.
Quarterbakery idea - Bike side rest chair

could be good for motorcycles as well. [pashute, Jul 31 2013]

If the bike has a kickstand you can deploy that and then
just sit on the bike seat. |
|
| |
The kick stand wont hold you on the bike, |
|
| |
the bike seat is built for power riding not for
comfort, |
|
| |
and the bike seat does not have arm rests, a back
rest or a head rest (unless its a recumbent bike, in
which case I "rest" my case). |
|
| |
This is a clever bike idea. I think a good idea would to have a seat inside the diamond frame that folds down and rests on the pedal. If the pedal is in the up position it would not fold down. It would be more like a folding lawn chair than a hammock seat. In this arrangement the seat would have to be held closed by fasteners. Alternatively, a seat could fold down automatically, when the bike is turned upside down, however this might flap around when riding. |
|

What did [bigsleep] say? He logs more halfbakery time than anyone. |
|
| |
One of the heavy "cargo bike" kickstands will fully
support a person sitting on the bike, but not off-
center as much as this load would be. |
|
| |
Probably your best bet would be a simple folding
seat that mounts to the off-side chain stay, with
the back upright against the seat stay. That
would put it in the same position as a rear pannier
or a rear rack. |
|
| |
You would also want a pair of legs on a linkage
that folds out as you put the seat down, which
would put the load of a sitter between those legs
and the rear axle. |

big - enjoy the vacation. |

bigsleep said that i'm putting up too many ideas
that i haven't thought thru before posting. So I'm
now putting them up on quarterbakery,
sometimes refining them sometimes just seeing
their flaws, or finding out that they are baked
already. I'll be putting up only the ones that truly
seem good. (Like this one) |

MechE could you make a quick sketch? |
|
| |
I recommend deviantart.com for that, they are
great.
Or for easy online CAD : Tinkercad.com |

Consider the triangular nature of the typical bicycle frame ... |
|
| |
The "seat" element is triangular and fits within the triangle formed by the crossbar, seat tube, and front tube. |
|
| |
When deployed , one corner of the triangular seat attaches to a bracket attached either to the seat tube or the front tube, above and clear of the crankcase and chainring; the pedals will have to be swung up to a horizontal position. |
|
| |
The outer corners of the trinagle each have a short fold-down tubular leg. |
|
| |
The bike leans slightly towards the seat, to achieve stability; it may be necessary to have a clip or lock to keep the front wheel straight. |
|
| |
See <link>. Some detail omitted for clarity. |
|
| |
[8th] apparently loves this idea so much he's created an
entire blog about it. |
|
| |
Ride a recumbent bike. The seat is already there, and mighty comfy. |
|
| |
[+] Un-folding/furling the chair at the mall would attract bikesitters which would dissuade bikethieves. |
|
| |
How do you get rid of the bikesitters when you want to leave ? |

// How do you get rid of the bikesitters when you want to leave? // |
|

Simply point off in some random direction and shout "Look, isn't that [insert name of currently-popular boy-band here]?" |
|
| |
Press the instant collapse button on the frame? |

About 15 years ago I once came out of a drugstore at
a gas station and saw a group of Russian immigrant
men straight out of a movie - one with a big eye, the
other with an extremely large forehead, one with a
stitched up slash across his cheek and upper lip, you
get the picture... all leaning on my silver-green '76
Ford Cortina, and Vodka bottles on the roof and
motor cover. |
|
| |
With my heart thumping, I calmly walked over to the
driver's seat door, while jingling my keys. |
|
| |
They moved their stuff, I got in and sped off,
wondering if I should notify the police about this
menacing looking gang. |
|
| |
I meant this to be a humorous entry, in continuation
of pocmloc's remark, and in preparation of telling you
all about putting finally putting this idea up on
Querky. [ link to follow ] |
|

But just saw the Israeli news about menacing people:
They just showed that we caught the murderer of
Yossi Mizrahi killed Passover night 70 days ago. The
murderer was a former terrorist freed in the Shalit
"exchange", for the kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit. |
