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). www.lustaufzukunft.de /pivit/fahrrad/my_bike_engl.html   (3731 words)

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.

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. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Bicycle_fork   (836 words)

Swanson Thomas & Coon - Attorneys at Law Bicycle lights are inexpensive to purchase and easy to mount so add this important equipment to your night time ride. Most bike light bulbs are pretty tough, but the combination of high pressure tires, no suspension, and rough roads frequently combine to break the little filaments in the bulb so that the replacement frequency for bike lamps are higher than on a motorized vehicle. It is also good practice to use bicycle lights during twilight or foggy conditions, any time you would be tempted to turn on your headlights if you were driving a car. www.stc-law.com /bikelighting.html   (1255 words)

Chainless bicycle having a front wheel resilient suspension - Patent 5271635 This invention relates to a front wheel resilient suspension system for a chainless bicycle where a horizontal bar member extends between a main bar member located under the bicycle seat to a horizontal bar connector mechanism which is resiliently mounted to both the horizontal bar member and the handlebar of the chainless bicycle.
