The Impossible Physics of Bicycle Balance
✨ Full videos + shorts:    / @eurekaorbit  

Discover the fascinating physics behind how your bicycle stays upright! This video debunks the common myth that spinning wheels’ gyroscopic effect alone keep you balanced. Instead, learn about the crucial role of the front fork’s angled geometry creating the “caster effect,” similar to a shopping cart wheel, which self-corrects your bike’s steering to keep you stable. Plus, uncover the unconscious skill of counter-steering that you perform to manage balance actively. Using clean subtitles, stock footage, and narrated by Hans EO, this visual journey breaks down complex forces in a simple, engaging way for curious minds. Next time you ride, appreciate the incredible physics experiment happening beneath you!
