Abstract
A suspension bicycle includes swing arms, control arms and control links which are connected pivotably to an otherwise rigid frame to form a trapezoidal arrangement configured with a shock absorber forward of the seat riser tube to permit absorption of energy imparted to the bicycle by substantially vertical forces such as caused by shocks while transmitting to the rear wheels without significant loss energy imparted to the bicycle by substantially forward such as pedaling.
