The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1896-07-12

The action of the speed is to cause the
wheel to tip over more slowly. This gives
the rider more of a chance TO keep in
balance, but If the wheel is not turned
from the straight line the equilibrium
must be maintained by throwing the
weight OF the body to one side or the
other, and to do this in a graceful and
successful manner would require an
amount Of skill that could only be ac>
quired after long practice.
In the actual riding of a bicycle the bal
ance is maintained by turning the wheel
from side TO side. This can be easily I'M
derstood by reference to Figure g. in which
the rider is shown inclined to the same
angle as is shown by the dotted outline in
Figure 2. BY turning tho front wheel so as
to steer slightly in the same direction in
which the body inclines, the position
shown by the dotted lines Is soon attain
ed. In this position the wheel is on the
line d, which is directly under the body
To balance in this way ii is not necessary
to move the body at all, because the result
is accomplished by steering the wheel so
as to keep 1t under the center of gravity
while in the former case the center of
gravity mad to be kept over the wheel
and this could only be accomplished by
throwing the weight of the boly from side
to side.
When a rider begins to lean to one side
the turning of the wheel in the same di-
rection does not check his side motion He
continues to fail over but he steers the
wheel so that it moves sidewise faster than
his BODY does, and the result IS that 1t very
soon reaches a point when 1t is under the
center of gravity. If a close observation Of
the movement of a bicyclst could be made,
1t would be found that the upper part Of
the body moves along in a line that sways
from one side to the other to a slight ex-
tent, and that the path Of the wheel upon
the ground follows the same curve mo-
tion, but goes further toward each side
than the upper part of the body
The reason for this is that when
the body begins to tip to one side the
wheel must be steered in the same direc-
ton, not only untn it runs directly under
the center of gravity, but enough further
to check the side swing which the body
has acquired in the act of tipping. If the
wheel does not run far enough out of line
to check the side swing the balance could
not be restored.
While the actual balancing is effected by
deviating the course of the wheel from
side to side, the Roadway assists as all
ready stated, in maintaining the equilib-
rum. The reason for this is that the mo-
mentum when the wheel is in motion acts
against the force of gravity, and conse-
quently the net force that tends to push
the weight to the ground is less. This
causes it to drop more slowly and gives
the rider more time in which to regain his
balance.
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1896-07-12

it is the only cause upon which the ac-
ton depends.
The real reason why a bicycle can be
balanced so easily is that the wheel can
be steereed from side to side, and thus
be kept under the center of gravity of the
body. If the wheel could not be turned
to one side or the other, but was confined
to a straight line, the balance could only
be maintained by throwing the body from
side to side, so as to keep the center Of
gravity over the wheel, and this would be
far more difficult to accomplish. To illus
trate this point, consider the case of a
man trying to balance himself upon the
heels of his shoes. He will soon feel that
his weight is going either forward or
backward, and to avoid falling over he
will take a few short steps in the direc-
tion in which his body is moving, and
thus restore the equilibrium. So long as
he keeps moving his heels, one way or the
other, he will have no difficulty in pre-
serving his balance; but if he tries to ac-
complish the same result without moving
his heels he will find that he can only
maintain a balance for a few seconds,
and to accomplish even that much he will
have to swing his body and arms around
in anything but graceful manner. This
explains why 1t is so much
easier to maintain a balance on
stills than on tight rope. One would nat
udally suppose that the latter would be
the easier, because the whole length of
the foot rests upon the rope, and, there
fore, only the tendency to fall over side
