 My Allround-Bicycle by Rainer Pivit
The 1960's Moulton bicycle served as an initial model with its small wheels and high pressure tires, suspension, broad carriers over the wheels, simple main tube frame with easy step-over, over-all ease of manufacture and associated low-price.
It was a great bicycle, but in many ways was still unsatisfactorily - the rear suspension was quite hard, the front suspension had poor friction damping, there were hard impacts at the end of suspension travel, it dived heavily when braking, it had nervous steering-characteristics and an unstable rear carrier.
From the proposed weight distribution of the bicycle and the resonant frequency of the suspension we could calculate the spring rates for a whole range of loading situations (from a lightly woman without luggage to a heavy man with luggage).

 Birdy 7 speed & 3x7 Reviews, Specs and Shopping
Birdy green from Riese und Müller in Germany, puchased in Germany: Aluminium frame, full suspension (front: spring with foam insert, rear: elastomer), 18 inch wheels, folded size 76*58*28 cm, 11.2 kg.
Elastomer rear suspension and spring/elastomer front suspension; the Birdy folds at the suspension pivot points.
A great bike, not suitable for gonzo DH or really gnarly singletrack, but useful for many dirt rides, with the benefit that you can keep it in the car for spontaneous rides, and no one will know you have it in the trunk.

 Bicycle fork - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
A bicycle fork is the portion of a bicycle that holds the front wheel and allows one to steer.
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.
