   On Earth Day we give the voice to the authors of a report, issued earlier this month, outlining solutions for tackling climate change: the Sixth Assessment Report (known as Working Group III or WG3) was issued by the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC). The report underlines the need to transform the transport sector, ma...

   The IPCC comprises hundreds of the world's top climate scientists who, for the first time, explored what motivates people to cut emissions. If the right conditions allow people to choose to ride a bicycle, more could take climate action to reduce emissions. Investments in bike and pedestrian pathways in urban areas can encourage more people to choo...

   Can a pedal bike stay upright?

   • If a pedal bicycle did stay upright because of the gyroscopic effect then any novice getting on a bike could just push off and the bike – and the effect – would do the rest. The simple truth is that you have to learn how to ride, just as you must learn how to walk. Riding a bike is all in the mind.

   Can walking and cycling reduce emissions from urban transport?

   • Case studies suggest that active mobility like walking and cycling could reduce emissions from urban transport by up to 10%. The IPCC comprises hundreds of the world's top climate scientists who, for the first time, explored what motivates people to cut emissions.

   Can a backward spinning wheel keep you upright?

   • Essentially, the backward spinning wheel cancels out the gyroscopic effect of the front wheel, proving that it doesn’t matter and that the only thing keeping you upright is your brain. It’s also a really fun experiment that anyone can do.

   Is it normal to WOBB a lot on a bike?

   • Then, without thinking, you steer back again to stay on the path. This “wobbling” is perfectly normal. It is more obvious among beginners (mostly children) who wobble around quite a lot, but it may be almost imperceptible in an expert cyclist.

   Is it easier to keep your balance if you ride a bike?

   • It is much easier to keep your balance. It’s called running. What your brain has learned to do is to make a little correction every time you take off so that if, say, you’re falling to the right, then you’ll hop a bit to the left with the next step. It’s the same with pedalling a bike. When riding, you’re always making tiny corrections.

   How to make riding a bike easier?

   • There are some really clever bits in bicycle design to make riding a bike easier, too. Most important is the fact that the steering column (the “head tube”) is tilted so that the front wheel makes contact with the ground at a point that lies behind where the steering axis intersects with the ground.

   Nov 5, 2007 · Bicycles stay upright due to lateral centrifugal force acting on the center of mass of the bike having velocity, or velocity of the center of mass of the bike and rider combined, when the bike goes into a slight turn (why wheel must be allowed to be free to allow for turn).
