  Centralized handled bicycle fork anchor - Patent 5875947
This facilitates the loading of a bicycle upon the fork anchor, even when the skewer is inadvertently struck by a fork prong during the loading process because the fork engaging portion of the skewers retains or regains an exposed position outside of the anchor's housing.
The bicycle fork anchor 100 optionally incorporates a pivot mechanism or adjustable mounting 170 for permitting translation of the anchor 100 in a horizontal plane thereby providing a means for canting a secured bicycle's front wheel assembly and handle bars at an angle with respect to the rest of the bicycle's frame.
The skewer assembly 122 fits within the bicycle fork anchor 100 with a slight degree of play permitting the assembly 122 to move rightwardly or leftwardly in response to forces experienced as the adjustment mechanism 145 is operated and a pre-load is applied to the bicycle prongs.

Bicycle in Victorian Plymouth, with a predecessor of the Starley diamond-frame
Bicycle brakes are either rim brakes, in which friction pads are compressed against the wheel rims, or internal hub brakes, in which the friction pads are contained within the wheel hubs.

 Bicycle fork - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A bicycle fork is the portion of a bicycle that holds the front wheel and allows one to steer.
A fork consists of two dropouts which hold the front wheel axle, two "blades" which join at a fork "crown", and a steerer to which the handlebars attach allowing the user to steer the bicycle.
Contrary to the traditional diamond bicycle frame, for which the forces can be very accurately modeled mathematically, the more complex shape of the fork does not allow such precise calculations.

 Bicycle Fork Damage During Deceleration
The fork blades were bent backwards several inches and three adjacent spokes on the left side of the front wheel were bent inwards, towards the centerplane of the bicycle, in gentle curves.
Since the front fork blades are sufficiently strong to lift the bicycle and rider through a couple applied to the front axle and the brake mounting bolt, no damage is done to the bicycle by this action.
The reaction of the upward force from the bicycle's saddle to the cyclist's body is an equal downward force between the front wheel and the road.

 Sheldon Brown's Bicycle Glossary E--F
The primary bicycle usage refers to the special bottom brackets used on better tandems and some other cycles, which allows the bottom bracket to be moved slightly for purposes of fine-tuning chain length.

Freestyle bicycles usually are equipped with the "Potts modification" and a "rotor" which allow the handlebars and fork to be turned 'round and 'round at will without tangling the brake cables.

 Bicycle History
After the fundamentals of bicycle design had been conceived by the end of the 1860s, a multitude of subsequent improvements were suggested and tried.
In addition, the demise of the threaded fork and quill stem in favor of the threadless fork/stem combination, the increased numbers of gears and the improvements in wheel design are valid contributions to bicycle evolution.

 Bicycle Steering Geometry   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
A straight bladed fork with 45mm of rake has exactly the same trail as a curved-bladed fork of the same length with 45mm rake.
All that matters here is the points at the fork crown and the dropouts, not the shape of the fork between them.
For someone designing a fork, it is more useful to start with the desired trail and calculate the needed fork offset, which can be determined from the tire radius, head tube angle, and trail.
