1. A bicycle suspension system comprising:

  • a control unit;

    a front suspension configured to be coupled between a bicycle frame and a front wheel such that the front wheel is movable relative to the bicycle frame in response to a shock applied to the front wheel;

    a rear suspension configured to be coupled between the bicycle frame and a rear wheel such that the rear wheel is movable relative to the bicycle frame in response to a shock applied to the rear wheel, said rear suspension being selectively adjustable by said control unit to change stiffness of said rear suspension;

    a front wheel terrain sensor operatively coupled to said control unit to input a first signal that is indicative of an amount of compression or expansion of said front suspension; and

    a rear controller operatively connected to said rear suspension and said control unit so that said control unit selectively adjusts stiffness of said rear suspension in response to said amount of compression or expansion of said front suspension.
