L'invention porte particulièrement sur une bicyclette (1) qui comprend : un cadre de corps de bicyclette (9) portant de façon à pouvoir la diriger une fourche avant (8) qui porte une roue avant (WF); un guidon (3) qui est fixé à une tige de direction (7) sur la fourche avant (8); un bras de pédalier (10) qui entre la force de pression de pédales d'un cycliste (M). La bicyclette est en outre pourvue : d'un capteur de vitesse (26) qui détecte la vitesse de la bicyclette (1); d'un amortisseur de direction commandé électroniquement (40) qui applique une force d'amortissement à l'opération de rotation de la tige de direction (7); d'une unité de commande (32) qui ajuste la force d'amortissement de l'amortisseur de direction commandé électroniquement (40) en fonction de la sortie du capteur de vitesse (26). L'unité de commande (32) établit la force d'amortissement, quand la vitesse (V) est inférieure à une valeur de seuil prescrite (V1), à une valeur supérieure à celle de la force d'amortissement quand la vitesse (V) est supérieure ou égale à la valeur de seuil prescrite (V1).
