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. [17] Trail can also vary as the suspension activates, in response to braking for example.
The seven peaks of the 'Fitz Roy traverse is one of the hardest mountain traverses with a CAG of circa 4,000 metres (13,000 ft) In cycling, hiking, mountaineering and running, the term cumulative elevation gain (or cumulative gain) is the total of every gain in elevation made throughout a journey.
Wheelbase (measured between rotational centers of wheels) Bike geometry parameters: The wheelbase of a bicycle. In both road and rail vehicles, the wheelbase is the horizontal distance between the centers of the front and rear wheels. For road vehicles with more than two axles (e.g. some trucks), the wheelbase is the distance between the ...
George Mallory's Everesting attempt in 1994 was written up into an article in 2012, which first prompted others to take on this challenge. [6] The widespread growth of GPS technology and social media - particularly Strava and Zwift - has been vital in allowing riders to accurately measure distance, elevation and height gain, while also sharing information about their ride.

It is possible to calculate eigenvalues, one for each of the four state variables (lean angle, lean rate, steer angle, and steer rate), from the linearized equations in order to analyze the normal modes and self-stability of a particular bike design. In the plot to the right, eigenvalues of one particular bicycle are calculated for forward ...
Cycling isn’t only spandex shorts, sore bums, and lengthy road rides.Rather, hopping on a bike includes building up cardiovascular health, relieving daily stressors, and finding your own ...
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.
