List of bicycle parts by alphabetic order:

Axle: as in the generic definition, a rod that serves to attach a wheel to a bicycle and provides support for bearings on which the wheel rotates. Also sometimes used to describe suspension components, for example a swing arm pivot axle
Bar ends: extensions at the end of straight handlebars to allow for multiple hand positions
Bar plugs or end caps: plugs for the ends of handlebars
Basket: it is an optional attachment on a bike and is used for carrying things
Bearing: a device that facilitates rotation by reducing friction
Bell: an audible device for warning pedestrians and other cyclists
Belt-drive: alternative to chain-drive
Bicycle brake cable: see Cable
Bottle cage: a holder for a water bottle
Bottom bracket: The bearing system that the pedals (and cranks) rotate around. Contains a spindle to which the crankset is attached and the bearings themselves. There is a bearing surface on the spindle, and on each of the cups that thread into the frame. The bottom bracket may be overhaulable (an adjustable bottom bracket) or not overhaulable (a cartridge bottom bracket). The bottom bracket fits inside the bottom bracket shell, which is part of the bicycle frame
Brake: devices used to stop or slow down a bicycle. Rim brakes and disc brakes are operated by brake levers, which are mounted on the handlebars. Band brake is an alternative to rim brakes but can only be installed at the rear wheel. Coaster brakes are operated by pedaling backward
Brake lever: a lever for actuating a bicycle brake
Brake shifter or colloquially, brifter (see also Shimano Total Integration, Campagnolo ErgoPower and SRAM Double Tap): combined shifter and brake lever control
Braze-on: a fitting protruding from a frame to provide attachment, typically for cable housings or tire pumps and similar accessories

Fairing: a full or partial covering for a bicycle to reduce aerodynamic drag or to protect the rider from the elements
Fender or mudguard: curved pieces of metal or plastic above the tires which catch and redirect road spray thrown up by the tires, allowing the rider to remain relatively clean. May come in pairs
Ferrule: a metal or plastic sleeve used to terminate the end of a cable housing
Fork: a mechanical assembly that integrates a bicycle's frame to its front wheel and handlebars, allowing steering by virtue of its steerer tube
Fork crown: the point at which the two blades of the fork meet below the steerer tube.
Fork end: paired slots on a fork or frame at which the axle of the wheel is attached. See also Dropout

Spindle: an axle around which a pedal rotates; threaded at one end to screw into crank arms
Spoke: connects wheel rim to hub. Usually wire with one end swaged to form a head and one threaded end. A typical wheel has 36 spokes
Speakers: loudspeakers specifically made for bicycles and/or strollers for cyclists and pedestrians with children to listen music or answer phone calls on their mobile devices when bicycling or transporting children. Both wireless and wired speakers are available to mount on their handlebars or frames. Even though speakers specifically made for bicycles are available to purchase, but depending on the sizes and shapes and the cyclists' ingenuities, any speakers can be strapped on to them typically by using silicone strappings. These speakers meant to eliminate the risks of using headphones such as obliviousness of incoming cars and other warnings, and continuous playing of music from them would also alert other cyclists and pedestrians nearby
Sprocket or cog: wheel with teeth that meshes with the chain; one of the wheels in the cogset or crankset
Steerer tube: a tube on top of a fork that is inserted through frame and serves as an axle by means of which bicycle can be steered
