Now just imagine the possibilities with a rider on the bike. Being able to dynamically shift weight to either the left or right side of the bike at will! You can even do turns while riding with no hands.
- kazinator 4y agoWhen you shift your weight to the left, the bicycle tilts right to keep the center of gravity above the track line.
- whycombinetor 4y agoIf this were the case, you wouldn't be able to turn while riding with no hands. Yet reality has us out here riding bikes with no hands making turns. https://youtu.be/_SWdCutqSWQ?t=73 https://youtu.be/_SWdCutqSWQ?t=73
- kazinator 4y agoThat is false, because you can induce a motion of the steering column without using your hands. If you shift your center of gravity around without your hands on the bars, the steering column will do things on its own and you can learn to predict and control that. Not just simply 0shifting the center of gravity in the seat; you can do things if you seize the top bar between your knees. A steering column which somehow turns right without your hands will induce a countersteer to the left the same way as if you had used your hands.
