Book-learning doesn't explain bike-learning
Yet another team of researchers has tried to reduce bicycles to mathematics, and they've failed.
The complex equation, which takes into account inertia, gyroscopic and centrifugal forces as well as gravity, has 31 numbers and symbols and nine sets of brackets.
The formula boils down to: Inertia forces + gyroscopic forces + the effects of gravity and centrifugal forces = the leaning of the body and the torque applied to the handlebars of a bike.
Nope. If the torque applied to the handlebars is a major factor, they've missed the point entirely.
