Abstract
Abstract A game utilizing a pair of game poles which support horizontally extending bars. The outboard end of each bar journals for rotation a member that is vertically oriented such that a bicycle with a horizontally extending bar clipped to the handlebars is adapted to clear the spacing between the rotatable members. The cyclist attempts to pass between the poles without having the bar engaging the rotatable members. The horizontally extending bars are horizontally adjustable to vary the space between the rotatable members and carry indicia to allow precise adjustment.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
155 words
A game device for use with a bicycle comprising at least a pair of base members for positioning a predetermined distance apart, a pole mounted on each base member, two rotatable members a pair of rod means for supporting said rotatable members, said rod means having indicia thereon, connecting means on each pole for connecting one of said rod means to one of said poles and for normally concealing said indicia, said connecting means and said rod means being selectively adjustable with respect to each other in a horizontal direction, to expose certain of said indicia in accordance with said adjustment, one of said rotatable members being mounted on each of said rod means for rotation thereon about a horizontal axis, an elongated bar, and said bar having clip means for securing said bar to the handlebars of a bicycle for selective cooperative engagement of said bar with said rotatable members or selective passage therebetween.
