摘要 | A housing having a pivoted bottom retaining a collapsed and folded drag parachute therein. The housing is mounted near the rear of a bicycle and a remote release cord is attached to the bottom to release the parachute so that it will deploy and billow out to the rear and slow the bicycle and simulate a drag parachute used to slow a drag racer or other fast moving vehicles. | ||||||
