Bicycle Fall
|
Bicycle suspension refers to the system or systems used to suspend the rider and all or part of the bicycle. This serves two purposes:
To keep the wheels in continuous contact with rough surfaces to improve control.
To isolate the rider and luggage from jarring due to rough surfaces.
Bicycle suspensions are used primarily on mountain bicycles, but are also common on hybrid bicycles, and can even be found on some road bicycles, as they can help deal with problematic vibration. Suspension is especially important on recumbent bicycles, since while an upright bicycle rider can stand on the pedals to achieve some of the benefits of suspension, a recumbent rider cannot.
