    Bicycle and motorcycle dynamics

    Quoted: A bike remains upright when it is steered so that the ground reaction forces exactly balance all the other forces it experiences, such as gravitational, inertial or centrifugal if in a turn, and aerodynamic if in a crosswind.[4] Steering may be supplied by a rider or, under certain circumstances, by the bike itself. This self-stability is generated by a combination of several effects that depend on the geometry, mass distribution, and forward speed of the bike.

    Fuji Road Bikes

    Many of these bikes seem to use the same frame across a series... might be a good idea to get the cheapest bike using a certain frame and upgrade components as needed. Reviews are generally very favourable especially from the Roubaix upwards.

    Fujis are often on sale at Performance Bike priced well below msrp. Most carbon models are available as framesets.

    Crosscheck rider reviews-

    Misfits of Mainstream Bicycle Racing

    Check out this slideshow and the related article.

    Quoted: In the Single Speed World Championship bicycle race, riders are encouraged to wear costumes and not take the race too seriously. Some racers wore Boy Scout uniforms. Others wore pajamas, a full-body neon skinsuit, bunny ears or fishnet tights. Men willing to do the entire race in briefs received special prizes. Hecklers along the course route threw beer cans and shouted insults.

    Burke-Gilman, Sammamish River & East Lake Sammamish Bike Trails

    My custom Google Map of about 30miles of connecting bike trails from Seattle(Fremont) to Bothell to Marymoore Park in Redmond to Sammamish.

    I'll finish the East Lake Sammamish trail(which stretches south to Issaquah) on the map as I complete it on my bike. See my last "cycling" fave for pdf maps of the larger King County trail system.
