Abstract
A suspension assembly for a bicycle comprises a lower tubular support configured to be received within a steerer tube of a bicycle fork assembly; an upper tubular support configured to be connected to a stem of a steering assembly above an upper end of the steerer tube; and a spring configured to exert a force that biases the upper and lower tubular supports toward an extended position, wherein the upper and lower tubular supports are configured such that the upper tubular support slides longitudinally relative to the lower tubular support adjacent the stem and above a fork crown of the bicycle fork assembly.
