Huge thanks to Rick Cavallaro for creating this bike on short notice. Thanks to all the friends who participated in the filming. Rick was also responsible for the Blackbird Faster Than The Wind Downwind Cart.    • Risking My Life To Settle A Physics Debate  

Much of the information presented here on the stability of a riderless bicycle stems from original research at
Delft http://bicycle.tudelft.nl/schwab/Bicy...
and
Cornell http://ruina.tam.cornell.edu/research...

This line of bicycle-balance research was initiated by Jim Papadopoulos: https://www.nature.com/articles/535338a
