video: An old banged-up yellow Schwinn has proved to work out well for bicycle stability demonstrations starting in about 1985. After launch the bicycle is knocked sideways. It then recovers and continues going straight. This video relates to an article that appeared in the April 15, 2011, issue of Science, published by AAAS. The study, by J.D.G. Kooijman at Delft University of Technology in Delft, Netherlands, and colleagues was titled, "A Bicycle Can Be Self-Stable Without Gyroscopic or Caster Effects." view more
