Experimentation
A variety of experiments have been performed in order to verify or disprove various hypotheses about bike dynamics.
- David Jones built several bikes in a search for an unridable configuration.
- Richard Klein built several bikes to confirm Jones's findings.
- Richard Klein also built a "Torque Wrench Bike" and a "Rocket Bike" to investigate steering torques and their effects.
- Keith Code built a motorcycle with fixed handlebars to investigate the effects of rider motion and position on steering.
- Schwab and Kooijman have performed measurements with an instrumented bike.
- Hubbard and Moore have performed measurements with an instrumented bike.
