An attachment for a bicycle which supports the stump of an amputated leg and allows the rider to pedal. A stump support frame 1 is secured at or near one end to a seat stem 1 of the bicycle, and at the other end to a piston or pushrod assembly 5 which in turn is attached a crank 2 of the bicycle. Downward force exerted by the stump to the stump support frame 1 exerts, through the piston 5, a downward force on the bicycle crank 2 to provide forward momentum to the bicycle.
