The invention provides a support system (1) for a cycle (2) having a support surface (9) capable of carrying persons and/or a load, wherein the height adjustment of the support surface (9) is simple and rapid. The support system (1) comprises a base element (5a, 5b) and a support element (6a, 6b), presenting the support surface (9), and the support element (6a, 6b) is rotatably connected to the base element (5a, 5b), such that the support element (6a, 6b) can rotate relative to an axis of rotation (10). The support surface (9) is located a certain distance from said axis of rotation (10) and extends substantially parallel to this axis of rotation (10).
