Abstract: The main ingredient of the algebraic cobordism of M. Levine and F. Morel is a cobordism cycle of the form (MxrightarrowhX;L1,cdots,Lr) with a proper map h from a smooth variety M and line bundles Li's over M. In this paper we consider a emph{cobordism bicycle} of a finite set of line bundles (XxleftarrowpVxrightarrowsY;L1,cdots,Lr) with a proper map p and a smooth map s and line bundles Li's over V. We will show that the Grothendieck group mathscrZ(X,Y) of the abelian monoid of the isomorphism classes of cobordism bicycles of finite sets of line bundles satisfies properties similar to those of Fulton-MacPherson's bivariant theory and also that mathscrZ(X,Y) is a emph{universal} one among such abelian groups, i.e., for any abelian group mathscrB(X,Y) satisfying the same properties there exists a unique Grothendieck transformation gamma:mathscrZ(X,Y)omathscrB(X,Y) preserving the unit.
