I don’t understand why everyone can’t draw a bicycle. I can draw you a near mechanical sketch from memory. We did this in college, CompSci, and most of the drawings didn’t even make sense. Do most people just not actually look at how the world around them works?
This strikes some kind of nerve with me every time it comes up.
- smordistan 5y agoMost people do not ride or interact with bicycles. The ones that do likely do not understand how bicycles work. I would say 1 in 4 bike owners (those who have a bike and rode it in the past year) put heavy thought into or looked into how bicycle components go together.
- ncmncm 5y agoI don't understand this either. I have no trouble drawing an accurate bike, helicopter, or chainsaw, and can't imagine how people move in the world and can't. I have to think that people just don't care about physical objects. But most people who can draw a bike cannot accurately describe how they stay up, or how to ride one. When they teach a child they tell them it all wrong, and the child takes a long time physically unlearning what they were told; but asked to explain, they will repeat what they were told instead of what they actually do when they ride. I have multiple experiences of teaching small children to ride in, literally, seconds, just by saying correctly what one really does. Learning to ride really is as easy as riding, if you don't need to unlearn falsehoods first.
