Abstract
A bicycle front wheel control mechanism made up of a suspension system and a brake system. The suspension system has an eccentric retainer having an axle and two L-shaped members, and a shaft portion is carried by a housing through an elastic body at a perpendicularly upper part of the axle. The suspension system is so designed that it can rock relative to the front wheel around an axis of the shaft portion with an axial distance between the shaft portion and the axle as its radius, and the brake system is so designed that a side surface of a rim is made wide in a radial direction. By thus constructing the mechanism, the mechanism provides the following effects: (A) when the front wheel goes over a bump, shocks from the bottom and front can be moderated; (B) a rider can pedal a bicycle with his full strength on a flat road surface; (C) a part of the running energy exerted by a rider is not consumed by the suspension system; (D) locking of the wheel at the time of braking can be prevented; and (E) the mechanism is simple in its structure and requires no special maintenance and inspection.
