TMS Bicycle, stable without gyros or trail (TMS=two-mass-skate)
Arend Schwab
Arend Schwab demonstrates a research bicycle, the two-mass-skate design, that balances itself without gyroscopic effects or trail. It challenges the common explanations for why a moving bicycle stays upright.
HN commenters cite it as the author's own demonstration of research showing that bicycle stability is not explained by gyroscopes.
