A cambering vehicle includes a front column, left and a right trailing arms each having a front portion pivotally attached to either the front column or a bracket attached thereto by a pivot axle which is preferably inclined relative to the bracket or the front column. A detachable latching device may be used to detachably latch the bracket, if so provided, and thus the trailing arms to the front column at the working position. The bracket and thus the trailing arm may be rotated relative to the front column to the folding position when the detachably latching device releases the bracket relative to the front column. The cambering vehicle may also include a link connect the trailing arms independent of the front column, and a braking mechanism to inhibit forward movement of the cambering vehicle.

1. A cambering vehicle for human propelled transport comprising:an elongate front column having a longitudinal axis; first and second pivot axles at said front column; a first trailing arm pivotally attached to said first pivot axle; a second trailing arm pivotally attached to said second pivot axle

1. A cambering vehicle for human propelled transport comprising:an elongate front column having a longitudinal axis; first and second pivot axles at said front column; a first trailing arm pivotally attached to said first pivot axle; a second trailing arm pivotally attached to said second pivot axle; and, first and second rear wheels associated with said first and second trailing arms; wherein said first and said second pivot axles are inclined from an imaginary line perpendicular to said longitudinal axis of said front column. 2. The cambering vehicle of claim 1, wherein said inclination is downward.3. The cambering vehicle of claim 1, wherein said front column further comprises an internal steering stem with a front fork, said front fork having a front wheel rotatably engaged thereto, and wherein said internal steering stem may rotate within said front column turning said front wheel to steer said cambering vehicle.4. The cambering vehicle of claim 3, further comprising a handle in communication with said steering stem, said handle adapted so as to selectively rotate said internal steering stem within said front column.5. The cambering vehicle of claim 1, further comprising a braking mechanism for retarding rotation of one or both of said first and second rear wheels.6. The cambering vehicle of claim 4, further comprising a braking system, said braking system comprising a hand-actuated lever mounted upon said handle, a braking mechanism adjacent said first rear wheel, and a cable connecting said braking mechanism to said hand-actuated lever, wherein actuation of said hand-actuated lever pulls said cable forcing said braking mechanism against said first wheel with sufficient friction to retard rotation of said first rear wheel.7. The cambering vehicle of claim 1, further comprising a crossbar linking said first trailing arm to said second trailing arm.8. The cambering vehicle of claim 7, wherein said crossbar comprises a first end pivotally secured to one of said first and said second trailing arms with a first pin.9. The cambering vehicle of claim 8, wherein said first pin is selectively removable.10. The cambering vehicle of claim 9, further comprising a cover assembly engaged with said crossbar and adapted to protect said first pin from being decoupled from said crossbar when in a first position.11. The cambering vehicle of claim 10, wherein said cover assembly is rotatably engaged to said crossbar.
