The Bicycle Forest

BikeCAD is a parametric CAD tool for bicycle frame design. The Bicycle Forest has created several variations of this program to accommodate specific designs and tasks such as recumbents, full suspension, tandems, and wheel building.

BikeCAD for hardtail mountain bikes, road bikes and kids' bikes, with or without front suspension.

FullSuspensionCAD for four-bar linkage rear suspension.

RecumbentCAD for short wheelbase recumbents.

TandemCAD for direct lateral tandem bikes (bicycle built for two).

HulaCAD build your own eccentrically laced hula bike wheel. For more about hula bikes click here.

An engineer designing from scratch could hardly concoct a better device to unclog modern roads - cheap, nonpolluting, small and silent...

Rick Smith, International Herald Tribune, May 2006

It is estimated that 800 million bicycles are in use throughout the world - twice the number of cars in existence.

The Observer - December 22, 2002

A bicycle does get you there and more.... And there is always the thin edge of danger to keep you alert and comfortably apprehensive. Dogs become dogs again and snap at your raincoat; potholes become personal. And getting there is all the fun.

Bill Emerson, "On Bicycling," Saturday Evening Post, 29 July 1967
