Bicycles and Bicycling - Introduction n History evolution of bicycles History evolution of bicycles n Cycling as a sport and as an exercise -Reference: Faria and Cavanagh. The physiology and biomechanics of cycling -Muscles and movements -Physiological demands n Design objectives: -Distribute rider’s weight appropriately -Ensure transfer of power from rider to machine -Points of contact must fit the rider: handlebars seat pedals

Anatomy of Diamond Frame n Important parts: Front triangle (tubes), rear triangle (stays), fork, lugs, bottom bracket, head tube n Types of bicycles: (1) Road bike (10-speed) - touring, racing, and sport; (2) mountain, or all-terrain; and (3) hybrid

Other Frame Types; :Ladie’s Frame Top tube is sloped considerably

Design Features - Height n Height of bottom bracket (bike’s center of gravity) -Lower for more stability -Higher for more pedal clearance n Height measurements determine size of rider n Frame size - length of seat tube and top tube

Design Features - Bike Length n Wheelbase length - (Fig 12.6) -Shorter for quicker response, longer for more stability (varies from 38 to 44 in) n Chainstay length -Shorter chainstays are used on racing bikes for more direct transfer of power

Design Features: Frame Angles n Head tube - steeper for rougher ride, more efficient power transfer; shallower for handling ease and shock absorbing, but less responsive n Rake (amount of bend in fork blades) and trail affect steering stability. More trail equals more stability

Design Features on Different Types of Bicycles n Road bicycles (10-speeds) -Touring, or comfort - long wheelbase, shallow angles, fair amount of trail (21 speeds) -Racing - short wheelbase, steep angles, little trail (18 gears) -Sport/triathlon and cross bikes - in between (100 or more miles at high speed) n Mountain, or all-terrain -Fat, knobby tires, upright, sturdy frame, suspension systems n Hybrid - Cross between road and mountain

Bicycles - Frame Materials n Important characteristics are elasticity, stiffness, and strength (esp st/wt ratio) n Butted and splined tubing - thicker at ends than in the middle, with ribs inside n Steel - most widely used on cheaper bikes. Reliable, inexpensive, durable, predictable in handling - but is relatively heavy n Aluminum alloys - light, shock absorbent, comfortable. Newer alloys have improved properties of stiffness and strength (e.g., zirconium on trek bikes (trekbikes.com)trekbikes.com n Titanium alloys - stiff, strong, lighter, more shock absorbent - but is expensive hard to weld and hard to machine n Composites - greatest strength/wt & stiffness/wt ratio - but expensive, bonding problems. Used mainly in front fork and stays. May fail catastrophically in other areas of frame.

Suspension systems n Front, rear, and seat n Simple spring n Air coil/springing systems -Travel and stiffness may vary

Bicycle Accessories n Drive Train -Crank, chainrings (front driving cogs), freewheel, derailleurs (indexed and automatic shifting are recent innovations) n Shoes and pedals - clipless or with clips?

Accessories (cont’d) n Rims, tires, brakes n Saddles n Stems & handlebars

Accessories (cont’d) n Helmets n Gloves, shorts
