Hi,
I was looking for bicycle stability calculator becase I ran into problems with stability of my little rowing bike project model. It is model(to this time without drive) where I could change to some degree parametres of steering. But that beast is is not very stable, even if it is possible to ride it. So before I will built final recumbent I must obtain reasonably stable model :)

I found this little program on this mailing list ( http://rjs.org/Python/FrameGeometry.zip ). I even changed a few values to obtain selfstable bike at 6.4 km/h, but while I understand some of variables, others I don’t understand.

Front mass to pivot, front mass to height... Why not give there only data about centre of gravity? While on projected bike will be mass moved(both legs and torso of rider) during driving, the centre of gravity would be more or less in the same position. And centre of mass is what is loading the wheels, isn't it so?

what is "tortional K to pivot axis" ? What is inertial factor and "inertial angle of front mass from horizontal"? "inertial angle of front mass from horizontal? Front mass and main mass??? Cheers Peter
