ABSTRACT:
A straight bifurcated rigid bicycle fork is bent to produce a forward curve in the furcations or arms of the rigid fork. The curve has a bending radius of substantially six inches, and the angle between the arms and the main body of the rigid fork is less than a right angle. Typically, the angle of bend is on the order of substantially seventy-five degrees. When mounted on a bicycle, the curved rigid fork causes the front wheel to extend forward in front of the bicycle, and gives the bicycle a longer, lower look, thereby emulating what is known as a "low rider." When a helical spring and struts are added to the rigid curved fork, it emulates a spring-action low rider fork.
