The basic principle, as simply as possible
Bicycle 101
1866 – Pierre Lallement invents the Velocipede
A historical perspective
Bicycle 101
Angular momentumL = m v r
Key facts
Bicycle 101
Importance of acting like a cyclist
Bicycle 101The seven steps of the bicycle method
1. Determine the direction you wish to go
2. Determine whether there is a paved surface
3. Point the bicycle in the proper direction
4. Pedal furiously
5. Determine how far you have moved
6. Determine what change in direction is required
7. Call a cab
