Entry Description

The idea behind the Britch is to bring any added bicycle load to where it belongs - in the center. When someone steps onto a bicycle the person's load is in the center, however anything added is out of balance like baskets are connected to the handlebar and trailers to the side of the rear hub. The Britch changes that - it frees the handlebar and brings the load to the center, front and/or rear. One product that fits both front or rear to either the seat tube or the down tube. It carries loads by baskets or bags and operates as a universal hitch to pull trailers bringing the load to center.
