Note that, on a bicycle, as rake angle increases, head angle decreases. Trail can vary as the bike leans or steers. In the case of traditional geometry, trail decreases (and wheelbase increases if measuring distance between ground contact points and not hubs) as the bike leans and steers in the direction of the lean.

Q factor is a function of both the bottom bracket width (axle length) and the cranks. Bottom brackets axles vary in length from 102mm to 127mm. Mountain bike cranks are typically about 20mm wider than road cranks. [6] A larger Q factor (wider tread) will mean less cornering clearance (while pedaling) for the same bottom bracket height and crank ...
Gear inches is an imperial measure corresponding to the diameter in inches of the drive wheel of a penny-farthing bicycle with equivalent (direct-drive) gearing. A commonly used metric alternative is known as metres of development or rollout distance, which specifies how many metres a bicycle travels per revolution of the crank.
Gain ratio is the ratio between the distance travelled by the bicycle and the distance travelled by a pedal, and is a pure number, independent of any units of measurement. Front/rear gear measurement uses two numbers (e.g. 53/19) where the first is the number of teeth in the front chainring and the second is the number of teeth in the rear ...
An electronic odometer (below speedometer) with digital display showing 91,308 miles (146,946 km) from a Jeep Grand Cherokee (WJ). An odometer or odograph is an instrument used for measuring the distance traveled by a vehicle, such as a bicycle or car.

John Sheehan gets questions again and again about the state's electric bike rebate program from customers who walk into his bike shop in downtown White Bear Lake. The ROAM Bike Shop owner wishes ...
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 ...
