There are cross supports and other means to attach the respective bag sides to and around the motorcycle and/or to each other for a balanced and comfortable operation of the motorcycle during the transport of the golf bag system.

Versatile velocipede

Robotic golf caddy

An autonomouse robotic golf caddy which is capable of following a portable receiver at a pre-determined distance, and which is capable of sensing a potential impendingcollision with an object in its path and stop prior to said potential impending collision.

Golf cart control and monitoring apparatus and system using digital signal modulation techniques

A golf cart control and monitoring system, includes a signal transmitter, at least one antenna, a receiving and processing apparatus, and an event log device. The signal transmitter transmits a plurality of electromagnetic digitally modulated signals. The receiving and processing apparatus receives the electromagnetic signals radiating from each antenna and processes the signals to determine the position of the cart with respect to each antenna and correspondingly with respect to the prespecified feature. A control signal is outputted therefrom representative of the location of the cart. The event log device is responsive to the control signals and generates historical log of how long and how many times the golf cart is located within course restricted areas. In another embodiment, digital signals are radiated from antennas proximate designated start areas, designated stop areas and designated intermediate cart travel positions to track time of play and to provide displays of same to a cart operator. The receiving and processing apparatus includes a memory to store the event device historical log and playtime information for later retrieval by course representatives.

Variable configuration bicycle for riding in prone or upright position has telescopic main frame with hinge carrying adjustable pedal sprocket and rear wheel frame members

The variable configuration bicycle has a side member (11) which may project downward from a telescopic main frame (3,7). A first hinge (D1) is situated near a frame member (12) carrying a pedal sprocket (13). A second hinge (D2) on the end of this frame member holds the rear wheel (2) frame member (10) and there is a locking device (21) fixing the angle between the two frame members. The bicycle frame is adjustable for riding in the prone or upright position. The saddle (8) and a backrest (9) are mounted on the rear portion of the telescopic main frame. The handlebars (6), steering column (5) and front forks (4) holding the front wheel (1) are mounted on the front portion of the telescopic main frame.

Easy riding bicycle

A bicycle design includes a seat tube affixed to the chain stay at a fixed distance rearward of the bottom bracket so that the rider sitting on the saddle can comfortably fully extend one leg to place a foot flat on the ground or to use the proper full leg extension for pedaling. The rider sits comfortably upright on the saddle while pedaling and can pedal while standing up. Increasing the height of the saddle by extending the seat post tube for a taller rider increases the space between the saddle and the handle bars. The fixed distance may be in the range of about 4~ to 8~ and most preferably about 6~. The seat tube is preferably affixed to the chain stay frame member at an angle of about 66.5~ and the head tube at an angle of about 68~.
