Automatic suspension lockout for bicycles

摘要

An automatic suspension lockout assembly for bicycles comprises a pedal (1), crankarm, chainwheel (2), crankshaft and bearing (3) assembly compliantly mounted to a frame (9) such that a combination of pedaling forces and uphill bicycle inclination creates a small motion suitable for controlling a hydraulic valve (13) in a shock absorber (11) of the bicycle suspension assembly resulting in lockout of the suspension. <IMAGE>
