A front wheel pivoting assembly for a bicycle allowing for a front wheel of the bicycle to be articulated includes a bracket, a secondary head tube, a pivot unit, and a controller. The bracket and controller are mountable to an integral head tube and a handlebar, respectively, of a frame of a bicycle lacking a front fork assembly and a handlebar stem. Lower and upper ends of the secondary head tube engage the front fork assembly and the handlebar stem, respectively. A hinge is engaged to and extends between the bracket and the secondary head tube. The pivot unit is engaged to the bracket and is operationally engaged to the secondary head tube, allowing for reversible positioning of the secondary head tube. The controller selectively actuates the pivot unit, allowing a user to pull back and to push forward on the handlebar to extend and retract, respectively, the front wheel.
