Title: Bicycle Training System

Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE 
     Field of the Disclosure 
     The disclosure relates to training devices and more particularly pertains to a new training device for bicycle training. 
     SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE 
     An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a bicycle that has a rear tire and a seat post. A yoke is provided and the yoke is removably coupled to the bicycle. The yoke may be gripped by a first user. Thus, the first user stabilizes the bicycle when a second user is learning to ride the bicycle. 
     There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto. 
     The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.

     DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT 
     With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to  FIGS. 1 through 6  thereof, a new training device embodying the principles and concepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by the reference numeral  10  will be described. 
     As best illustrated in  FIGS. 1 through 6 , the bicycle training system  10  generally comprises a bicycle  12  that has a rear tire  14  and a seat post  16 . The rear tire  14  has an axle  18 . The bicycle  12  may be a child&#39;s bicycle  12 . Moreover, the bicycle  12  may be ridden by a child when the child is learning to ride a bicycle  12 . 
     A yoke  20  is provided and the yoke  20  is removably coupled to the bicycle  12 . The yoke  20  is gripped by a first user  22 . Thus, the first user  22  stabilizes the bicycle  12  when a second user  24  is learning to ride the bicycle  12 . The second user  24  may be an adult and the second user  24  may be the child. 
     The yoke  20  comprises a handle  26  that has a first end  28  and a second end  30 . The handle  26  is curved and the first end  28  is spaced from the second end  30 . Each of the first end  28  and the second end  30  is coupled to the axle  18  on the bicycle  12 . Thus, the handle  26  extends upwardly from the rear tire  14 . 
     A grip  32  is provided. The grip  32  is coupled to the handle  26 . The grip  32  enhances gripping the handle  26 . The grip  32  is centrally positioned between the first end  28  and the second end  30 . The grip  32  may be comprised of a resiliently compressible material. 
     A pair of first couplers  34  is provided. Each of the first couplers  34  is coupled to the handle  26 . Each of the first couplers  34  may a clamp or the like that extends around the handle  26 . Each of the first couplers  34  may be tightened to frictionally engage the handle  26 . 
     A pair of braces  36  is provided. Each of the braces  36  has a primary end  38  and a secondary end  40 . Each of the braces  36  comprises a first half  42  that is slidably coupled to a second half  44 . Thus, each of the braces  36  has a telescopically adjustable length. 
     Each of the braces  36  may include a fastener  45 . The fastener  45  may extend through the first half  42  and engage the second half  44 . Thus, each of the braces  36  is retained at a selected length. The primary end  38  of each of the braces  36  is coupled to an associated one of the first couplers  34 . The fastener  45  may comprise a nut and bolt or the like. 
     A second coupler  46  is provided. The second coupler  46  is coupled to the secondary end  40  of each of the braces  36 . Thus, the braces  36  form a V. The second coupler  46  is removably coupled to the seat post  16 . Each of the braces  36  extends between the seat post  16  and the handle  26 . Thus, the handle  26  is retained in a substantially vertical orientation. The second coupler  46  may comprise a clamp or the like. Moreover, the second coupler  46  may be tightened around the seat post  16 . 
     In use, the handle  26  is coupled to the axle  18 . The second coupler  46  is coupled to the seat post  16 . Each of the braces  36  is coupled to the second coupler  46 . Each of the braces  36  is positioned at a selected length. The second user  24  grips the grip  32  when the first user  22  is learning to ride the bicycle  12 . Thus, the bicycle  12  is stabilized and inhibited from tipping over. The handle  26  and the second coupler  46  are removed from the bicycle  12  when the first user  22  learns to ride the bicycle  12 . 
     With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, system and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure. 
     Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
