Stationary bicycles need support to stop from falling over because they lack gyroscopic stabilization. Right?
If you ride a free bicycle on a treadmill (so both wheels are spinning) will it fall over or stay upright?
If you fall over on a treadmill, does it matter if this treadmill bicycle combo is on a train?
The second part contradicts the first part though.
If it’s the gyroscopic effects keeping the bike up then all that needs to happen is the wheels need to spin. After all it’s spinning wheels that create those gyroscopic effects.
I think this is more like orbiting. You’re moving forward faster than you are moving sideways which is what keeps you upright mixed with the gyroscopic nature of bike wheels.
Yeah, I think orbiting is a better analogy.
