Bicycle gyroscope question |
| Question: |
Hi everyone,
I'm wondering about the situation where a bicycle is attached to the back of a car (usually on the towbar). As the car moves, the bike wheel starts to rotate... always in one direction. I *think* this might be something to do with gyroscopes (after looking at the 'Behaviour' page on this site) but I'm not sure. Could someone please, if they have time, explain it to me in very simple terms?
Kind regards.
Barney

| | | I think its unlikely to be a gyroscope affect. Its more likely to be aerodynamics.
