Abstract: A bicycle shock absorber having a primary unit and a remote unit that can be substantially entirely outside of the primary unit. The primary unit includes a damper tube, a spring chamber, and a piston rod that supports a main piston for movement within the damper chamber of the primary unit. The main piston and the damper tube at least partially define a compression chamber. The remote unit comprises a remote fluid chamber and, in some arrangements, an inertial valve within the remote unit that preferably is responsive to terrain-induced forces and not responsive to rider-induced forces when the shock absorber is assembled to the bicycle. The inertia valve can include at least one protective coating or layer configured to contact the reservoir shaft. A fluid flow control arrangement can utilize compression fluid flow to delay closing of the inertia valve after acceleration forces acting on the inertia valve diminish.

Abstract: A bicycle helmet adapted to be used with eyewear includes an impact-absorbing body, a resilient wiper, and an alignment feature. The impact-absorbing body has a convex exterior surface and a concave interior surface adapted to be positioned on a user's head. The impact-absorbing body further includes an aperture formed in the exterior surface and dimensioned to permit insertion of a portion of the eyewear into the aperture along an insertion axis. The resilient wiper is positioned at least partially in the aperture and arranged to engage the portion of the eyewear upon insertion into the aperture. The alignment feature defines at least a portion of the aperture and is oriented to guide the portion of the eyewear toward the resilient wiper.
