Abstract
The position of the front seat installation and the attachment of a rain cover while riding a bicycle that can be ridden with two infants make it difficult to check the road ahead due to poor visibility. Therefore, in order to clarify the effect on riding anxiety caused by poor visibility due to the rain cover attached to the front seat, a riding experiment was conducted using a styrene board that resembled a rain cover. The eye mark recorder was used to measure the line of sight, and the participants were asked to answer a questionnaire after riding, and an evaluation was made based on these results. As a result, it was found that poor forward visibility of riders affects their sense of riding anxiety, leading to the conclusion that for riders who install a rain cover or high front seats, those with a forward viewable distance of 5 m or less are recommended.
