Bicycle PhysicsPhysics and BicyclingCombining my work and hobby, I've spent some time investigating the physicsof bicycling.  Did you know that to turn a bike to the right, you actuallypush the handlebars to the left? And contrary to the beliefs of mostphysicists, the stability of a bicycle has little to do with the angularmomentum in the wheels.   I've written a nontechnical summary,and a technical tutorial paperon the bicycle steering. The calculations in the paper were done in MathCad, andcan be downloaded.I've also spend some time exploring the effects of stop signs on bicyclecommuters.  Maintaining the same speed on a road with stop signs as oneattains on a road without stop signs is very demanding.  For example, on aroad with stop signs every 300ft (100m), 500watts of power will result in thesame speed as 100 watts would get on a road without stop signs.  Since500watts is far higher than all but racing cyclists can produce, bicyclists onroad with stops signs must slow dramatically.  These calculations wereverified with road tests on California St. in Berkeley, a designated bike routewith many stop signs.  More details are in this nontechnical article. Some of the calculations omited from the article are at this link. People occasionally email me with questions about bicycling and motorcyclingphysics.  Some of the questions andanswers are at this link.Occasionally, I give a public lecture on the physics of bicycling. Here arethe notesfrom the lecture.Perhaps the most important article on the physics of bicycling was writtenby David E. H. Jones and published in Physics Today in 1970 (The Stability ofthe Bicycle 23 p34-40.) For those who do not have access to a physics library, the article isposted here (Warning…the file isalmost 9MB.)   Eventually adefinitive archival copy will be posted at www.aip.org/pt.
