Abstract

A method is presented to estimate and measure the geometry, mass, centers of mass and the moments of inertia of a typical bicycle and rider. The results are presented in a format for ease of use with the benchmark bicycle model [1 ]. Example numerical data is also presented for a typical male rider and city bicycle.
