Bicycle and motorcycle dynamics is the science of the motion of bicycles and motorcycles and their components, due to the forces acting on them. Dynamics falls under a branch of physics known as classical mechanics. Bike motions of interest include balancing, steering, braking, accelerating, suspension activation, and vibration. The study of ...
Single-track vehicles have unique dynamics that, in the case of wheeled vehicles, are discussed at length in bicycle and motorcycle dynamics, that usually require leaning into a turn, and that usually include countersteering. Single-track vehicles can roll on wheels, slide, float, or hydroplane. [1] [2]
The Detroit Bicycle Club was formed in 1879 when "only a few persons in Detroit rode." [49] By 1890, the club merged with the Meteor Bicycle Club and the Star Bicycle Club to become the Detroit Wheelmen. The Unique Cycling Club (1894 to 1911) was the women's equivalent to the Wheelmen and often shared their clubhouse.
At that time, the MSP had a fleet of 24 motorcycles, located in metro Detroit, Rockford, and Lansing. Contact Paul Egan: 517-372-8660 or pegan@freepress.com. Follow him on X, @paulegan4.

From a mechanical viewpoint, up to 99% of the mechanical energy delivered by the rider into the pedals is transmitted to the wheels (clean, lubricated new chain at 400 W), although the use of gearing mechanisms reduces this by 1–7% (clean, well-lubricated derailleurs and a straight chainline), 4–12% (chain with 3-speed hubs), or 10–20% (shaft drive with 3-speed hubs).
Bicycle and motorcycle geometry is the collection of key measurements (lengths and angles) that define a particular bike configuration. Primary among these are wheelbase , steering axis angle, fork offset, and trail.
Bicycle and motorcycle dynamics has been relatively stable for years. - AndrewDressel ( talk ) 12:44, 12 May 2009 (UTC) [ reply ] CF is a better article, which is still B class, has a hell of a lot of traffic, and a hell of a lot of quacks.
