Summary/Abstract: The bicycle is a mode of transport that is why there are high requirements for the safety of its exploitation. Testing of bicycles and their different components is described in the article. The purpose of this testing is that the bicycle passes safety requirements and the manufacturer can avoid repeated testing as it is expensive and extends the preparation of a new article for the production. In this paper we described treatments of different components of the bicycle (frame, wheel, brake, fork, etc.), which were done at Šiauliai University, Centre of Technological Treatment. The results of these treatments are set out in the article. Testing shows that most secure parts of the bicycle are the wheel and the fork of the front wheel. Supporting wheels and brakes are least secure components of the bicycle.
