ABSTRACT:
A resilient suspension system for the front wheel of a bicycle includes a steering column supported on the frame of the bicycle and supports a handle bar at the upper end and a resilient suspension assembly at the opposite end. The suspension system includes a pair of main forks which are carried by a crown member mounted on the bottom of the steering column and the forks are displaced to the rear of the longitudinal centerline of the column. A subsidiary fork assembly is mounted within the steering column and extends generally along a common longitudinal axis to cooperate with the main forks to support the front wheel of the bicycle in a resilient fashion. The subsidiary forks and the main forks are interconnected by a pair of pivotal links which will permit relative movement between the main forks and the subsidiary forks in response to surface irregularities and transmit such movement to a compression assembly disposed within the steering column.
