ABSTRACT:
Attached to the steering post of a bicycle is a lower extension cylinder in which a piston attached to the front fork assembly is slidably mounted.
Upper and lower coil springs are positioned in the cylinder to springingly resist upward and downward motions of the piston. The piston is connected to the upper portion of the front fork assembly by an integral neck portion which extends from the side of the piston through a slot in the front of the cylinder.
The upper portion of the fork is vertically oriented so that the piston can slide vertically in the cylinder, thereby to absorb shocks with maximum effect. The lower tine portions of the front fork are bent forward toward the horizontal so that the ends thereof are oriented to hold the front wheel's axle in proper location and to resemble a modified, easy-rider type motorcycle. A license plate support arm and bracket extend upwardly from the rear fork to add to the motorcycle appearance.
