ABSTRACT:
A suspension system for the drive wheel or wheels of a human powered vehicle provides a direct and rigid connection between the mounting of a driving pulley and the mounting of a driven pulley for rotating the drive wheel or wheels. A single and simple pivot junction allows the swing necessary for suspension of a rigid rear triangle carrying both of these mountings. A pressurized gas bag or a spring system is used to provide a biasing force between the rear triangle and a front triangle. This allows the maximum efficient use of human effort and avoids compromising the ideal operator position on the vehicle, as well as providing adjustable shock absorbing capabilities.
