A novel approach to bicycle design for handling qualities is presented. The design method is introduced through a case study in which a new front-wheel drive recumbent bicycle is developed. Since there exists no proper definition nor assessment for bicycle handling qualities, des

This paper gives an overview on handling aspects in bicycle and motorcycle control, from both theoretical and experimental points of view. Parallels are drawn with the literature on aircraft handling. The paper concludes with the open ends and promising directions for future work
...
The bicycle is an intriguing machine as it is laterally unstable at low speed and stable, or easy to stabilize, at high speed. During the last decade a revival in the research on dynamics and control of bicycles has taken place [1]. Most studies use the so-called Whipple [2] mode

A method is presented to estimate and measure the geometry, mass, centers of mass and the moments of inertia of a typical bicycle and rider. The results are presented in a format for ease of use with the benchmark bicycle model [1 ]. Example numerical data is also presented for a

The purpose of this study is to identify human control actions in normal bicycling. The task under study is the stabilization of the mostly unstable lateral motion of the bicycle-rider system. This is done by visual observation of the rider and measuring the vehicle motions. The

In this paper, an experimental validation of the lateral dynamics of a bicycle running on a treadmill is presented. From a theoretical point of view, bicycling straight ahead on a treadmill with constant belt velocity should be identical to bicycling on flat level ground with con
