Why dodn't you say about castor angle?
@conloon1077 Says:
WOW the first shot of the bike riding down the hill sent me right back to my childhood... In hindsight, I didn't take very good care of my first bike LOL

Natural bycicle selection
@rickybalonebro2673 Says:
Why my bike fall down if I do that? I guess my bike is local 😂
@SwiftcoalMay Says:
Can we get a "why" they steer themselves?

@nadimnassar7094 Says:
It’s called caster it’s being used for all kinds of vehicles It’s the thing that for example pulls your steering wheel straight in the car while driving
@aspect7461 Says:
So a bike can drive it self but I can’t even ride it 🪦
@datdude5962 Says:
It's called ghost riding, and we've been doing that since the 90's, it's also a very good way to tear your bike up, but also very fun to watch😂
@blacklight683 Says:
It didnt feel like falling
@user-od6zv5pu8m Says:
DECEPTICONS, Mobilize.
@Evilmonkey-ep6db Says:
Instead of literally using the evidence explained in a physics class, they actually were designed to ride themselves. Makes sense
@vanlalchhandama7023 Says:
"Cleverly designed to steer themselves" how my nigga? Thats the part everyone is waiting for you to explain
@Ceciel_ Says:
So I'm safer riding without hands... Ah ha
@inmostreign8457 Says:
So, you have to move body first, to move the bike side!
@PAIKUN. Says:
Just like planes can flying as long as they’re moving. A bike is the same
@AminAshrafi84 Says:
I thought it was because of the first rule of Newton

Trash af.
@chir0pter Says:
Even bikes know how to ride bikes. Get rekt, preschoolers
@alarm510 Says:
The biggest challenge of bike is human
@jaynex903 Says:
..Because there is no crooked rider on it, bicycle goes straight 😂
@giftofthewild6665 Says:
Wait so we dont really learn to ride a bike, the bike just learns to have a rider?
@NoodleIDK13 Says:
Wait people don't realise this?!
@christopherthumm4348 Says:
Ghost ride da whip
@TheBigChad Says:
Kinda how when on a motorcycle, say you’re doing 100kph and a left handed corner is coming up. You’re not going to bend the bars to the left, you actually counter steer to turn in the direction you want to go. So you will turn right to make the bike go left. Sounds weird to people that don’t ride motorcycles or total beginners, and it first learning it it was so weird and gave me an icky vibe lol. But after all these years I don’t even think about it anymore it’s all just muscle memory
@cadestrathern1260 Says:
I liked the part where you didn't explain how it works
@user-er4eo1dl1v Says:
It's because the front tire has positive caster
@Lazzw26 Says:
short answer: caster angle
@truthtime684 Says:
I taught my oldest son to ride a bike on a hill just like that. Just put them on the bike and let go
@radio-controlledcouk1174 Says:
It's the head angle that makes the bike steer underneath the fall.
@ElliottsCreations Says:
Y’all really can’t see the man riding? He’s wearing jorts.
@CULTOFARTRA Says:
Did the guy in the thumbnail piss himself
@Raggandrist Says:
It’s through cunticyclic force acting in opposition to gravity and helping keep the bike upright. Through the cunticyclic conversion of lateral energy entropy the stasis of the model is consistent
@redmeat2ndamendment695 Says:
An object in motion tends to stay in motion until acted upon by an opposite force. That’s why.
@randallsmerna384 Says:
It's the tilt of the front forks on the head tube.
@m2-x-n253 Says:
Ummmm....it was just designed like that,the effects were observed later, even a vintage cycle will still have the same effect even tho they weren't "designed" like that.
@rileydream8942 Says:
Caster!
@zerbinauto Says:
Positive caster it is.
@LivinHIGElife Says:
So your saying if centrifugal force didn't exist it would still stay upright? 🤔
@uncertaintytoworldpeace3650 Says:
There's a train that has a giant gyroscope in it that stays up like this.
@samuelcolebrook7406 Says:
Google S.A.I. or steering axis inclination. L\ _ ←← and yes it's the whole hog too i.e, the gyro from the wheels, frame design and angle creating more S.A.I from front wheel to rear wheel.. well centre of; hight including bigger or smaller frame pieces and wheels to raise or lower centre of gravity etc. Hope this helps 😊🤙🏾
@gabrielibarra5551 Says:
The techical name for the dimensions of a bike/motorcycle that causes them to balance themselves is rake and trail
@nelsonloza790 Says:
Newton.
@tekapturacerta Says:
I thoght it was some physics thing.
@Envysta_ Says:
This is how my parents convinced me to keep pedalling when they teached me how to ride a bike "as long as you are moving and be relaxed, you wont fall"
@DZig Says:
The fact that the bicycle self corrects has to do with the mechanical trail on the front fork, straightening itself out, similar to a shopping buggy with the front wheels steering. However, that does not negate the fact that gyroscopic properties of the wheels do keep the bike upright.
@Ultra-Collector Says:
The handle bars and their position are almost everything!💙

I tried to teach my daughter to bike. But she kept crashing. Only 4 years old. Expensive bicycle best of brands. Seeing these videos a while back I realized the bicycles were developed without brains. Turned the wheel the other way and this effect on the vide was activated. Soon after she learned how to bike without help
