The invention is an integrated system for travel on water and land that requires no tools, with an option to use only the specific bicycle as any other conventional bicycle. The integrated system consists of the specific bicycle and the water travel gear which itself consists of plurality of parts that are either assembled into water travel mode or land travel mode. In the case when the specific bicycle is to be used as any other conventional bicycle, water travel gear is easily detached and stored as a compact unit. Therefore, the integrated system consists of the specific bicycle and water travel gear consisting of plurality of parts that are either assembled into water travel mode, or assembled into land travel mode. When in land travel mode, water travel gear can be easily detached and stored as a compact unit. In water travel mode, 3-piece-float front and rear assemblies are assembled into a flat shape, meaning side floats are parallel to the main floats, and then attached to the specific bicycle axles by the means of embedded respective brackets in said 3-piece-float front and rear assemblies. Two paddles are attached to the rear wheel, providing propulsion. Balancer and rack lock are secured with the bicycle rack. In land travel mode, members of water travel gear are interconnected at the back of the specific bicycle. 3-piece-float front and rear assemblies are first assembled into a U shape, meaning side floats are perpendicular to the main floats, and then, along with their embedded respective brackets, stacked on the bicycle rack. Two paddles are attached to the bicycle rack at front and to the balancer at the back, with balancer itself connected to the side front floats. The whole assembly is secured on the specific bicycle with the bicycle rack lock. Alternatively, the specific bicycle can be used as any other bicycle. To do so, water travel gear can be easily detached from the specific bicycle as a single, compact unit and stored. That is, an user has to unscrew bicycle rack wing screw that connects it with the specific bicycle, as well as to unscrew rear wing nuts so the bicycle rack with all the other parts consisting the water travel gear can be taken off the specific bicycle. As the water travel gear that was previously assembled for the land travel mode on the said specific bicycle, the task is considerably easier.
