    Speed & Stability: Bicycle Dynamics Explained

    I was just wondering how speed can a bike more stable. What I mean is at lower speeds it the bike will tend to fall aside if you don't keep your balance, but as the speed increases the more stable it will become. Is this because of the steering, shape of the wheels or is a body actually harder...

    Why a Wheel Moves When Rotated - Understanding Torque & Force

    Why does a wheel move (translate) when it rotates? I mean when you exert a force somewhere on the wheel, it will produce a torque that make it rotate. Now assuming the wheel is in contact with the ground, the wheel will then exert a force on the ground and the ground will exert a counterforce on...
