rattleCAD — is a parametric 2D CAD software specific for bicycle design, [1] [2] in particular for design bicycle frame, [3] [4] developed by the Austrian cyclist and programmer Manfred Rosenberger since 2008. [5]
Due to front fork suspension, modern mountain bikes—as opposed to road bikes—tend to have slacker head tube angles, generally around 70°, although they can be as low as 62° (depending on frame geometry setting). [3] At least one manufacturer, Cane Creek, offers an after-market threadless headset that enables changing the head angle. [4]
A Rohloff Speedhub hub gear A Shimano XT rear derailleur on a mountain bike A bicycle gearbox with chain tensioner. Bicycle gearing is the aspect of a bicycle drivetrain that determines the relation between the cadence, the rate at which the rider pedals, and the rate at which the drive wheel turns.
Pace [6] in minutes per kilometre or mile vs. slope angle resulting from Naismith's rule [7] for basal speeds of 5 and 4 km / h. [n 1]The original Naismith's rule from 1892 says that one should allow one hour per three miles on the map and an additional hour per 2000 feet of ascent.
Experts explain the best time of day to go on a walk, depending on your goals from weight loss to digestion. There are benefits for morning, afternoon, and evening walks.
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 ...

According to a study a human at 70 kg (150 lb) requires about 60 watts to walk at 5 km/h (3.1 mph) on firm and flat ground, [6] while according to a calculator at kreuzotter.de the same person and power output on an ordinary bicycle will travel at 15 km/h (9.3 mph), [7] so in these conditions the energy expenditure of cycling is about one-third ...
