A bicycle includes a frame, a suspension assembly and a steering assembly. The frame includes a head tube that rotatably receives a front fork assembly. A steerer tube extends axially away from a fork crown of the front fork assembly. The suspension assembly includes an upper tubular support longitudinally slidable relative to a lower tubular support. The upper and lower supports receive a first positive biasing means and a first negative biasing means. The lower and upper supports are respectively connected to the steerer tube and a stem of the steering assembly such that the upper support slides longitudinally relative to the lower support adjacent the stem and above the fork crown.

A method of evaluating data in a database, the method including causing a workstation to display a graphical user interface which a user can use to create a screening rule by defining at least one screening condition and by entering a score, whether the score is applied to evaluate data in the database if the screening condition is met, whereby no knowledge of a programming language is required to create the screening rule. Other systems and methods are also provided.

A method includes recording client intakes, the client intakes including information about potential customers; recording a time and date when each intake was initiated by one of the potential customers; recording data about an advertising campaign including a start date and end date of the campaign, cost of the campaign, durations of advertisements in the campaign, name of a broadcast program into which the advertisements are inserted, and times when the program is broadcast; converting the data about advertising campaigns into ad time slot data including a time range in which a broadcast program runs and average number of times the advertisements run during the time range; and selectively generating an output visually indicating cost of advertisements versus time of day, number of intakes versus time of day, and cost of the advertisements versus time of day. Other systems and methods are provided.

A shock absorption device includes first and second assemblies, at least one pivot component and a buffering component. The first assembly is adapted to be connected to a first component of a bicycle and has at least one conical hole. The second assembly is adapted to be connected to a second component of the bicycle. The pivot component is fastened on the second assembly and has a conical portion. The conical portion is inserted into the conical hole such that the first and second assemblies are pivoted to each other. The conical portion is leaned against and fitted on the conical hole. The buffering component is disposed between the first and second assemblies. When the first and second assemblies rotate relatively to each other by taking a central axis of the conical hole as a rotation axis, force between the first and second assemblies is buffered by the buffering component.

A handlebar mount assembly for isolating a cycle handlebar from vibrations emanating from operation of a cycle, the assembly including a bottom bracket assembly configured for attachment to a cycle steering mechanism, a top bracket assembly configured for attachment to the bottom bracket assembly, a pair of polymer sleeves configured for placement around the handlebar, a tension clamp configured for clamping the handlebar and a clamp bushing configured for placement between the tension clamp and the top bracket assembly. The sleeves prevent direct contact between the top bracket assembly and the bottom bracket assembly, and the bushing prevents direct contact between the tension clamp and the top bracket assembly. In this manner, the handlebar mount assembly prevents direct and indirect contact of the steering mechanism to the handlebar through the metal components of the handlebar mount assembly.

A system includes an OAI gateway; and a main server coupled to the OAI gateway via the network, and configured to be accessed by client workstations, the main server including: an OAI listener coupled to the OAI gateway; a notification server coupled to the OAI listener; a memory defining a database and coupled to the OAI listener; and an intake application server coupled to the database; the main server being configured to present to a workstation a user-fillable intake form having a plurality of questions, to be filled by an intake clerk, and the main server configured to receive answers to the questions from the workstation, and to present a score total to the workstation indicating the desirability of the potential customer, the score total varying depending on the received answers. Other systems and methods are also provided.
