So that’s what we are doing wrong!

Scientists from universities in England, the Netherlands and The USA have come up with a novel way to solve the age old question, what’s the secret to riding a bike?

By using 31 numbers and symbols enclosed by 9 pairs of brackets, scientists have been able to explain how a bike works. In in layman’s terms the formula is: inertia forces + gyroscopic forces + the errects of gravity and centrifugal forces = the leaning of the body and torque applied to handlebars. Easy.
