A steering attachment for a wheelchair includes an arm assembly configured to engage a wheelchair fork comprising two outer bars connected to a shorter center member, thereby defining a gap on one end of the arm assembly to engage the fork. Attachment apertures extend through the outer bars and center member configured to receive attachment members to adjustably assemble the arm assembly to accommodate a particular fork blade. A link pivotally is connected to an opposite end of the bar assembly, and is hinged to move between an extended position and a folded position. A foot support is pivotally connected to an upper wall of the link and configured to pivot about an axis perpendicular to the pivot axis of the link. The steering attachment is connectable to a wheelchair with a single pull pin.
