A bicycle suspension assembly elastically supports a first frame member to
a second frame member. The suspension assembly preferably forms a bottom
bracket unit that allows the rear frame member to pivot about the axis of
the bicycle crank axle without any adverse affects to the drive train
assembly. Preferably, the suspension assembly includes a first suspension
member, a second suspension member, a first bearing unit, and a
shock-absorbing structure. The first bearing unit is operatively disposed
between the first and second suspension members to movably support the
first suspension member for rotation relative to the second suspension
member about a center pivot axis. In the preferred embodiment, each of
the shock-absorbing structure includes a plurality of biasing members.
Preferably, the suspension assembly includes a second bearing unit that
is axially spaced from the first bearing unit along the center pivot
axis.
