A bicycle provides a method of human powered transportation so a person can travel on wheels. The person must learn to balance on the device, steer, and work the pedals. It has two wheels, a front wheel and a rear wheel. The pedals are connected by a chain to the rear wheel.
When the rider works the pedals with his feet, the rear wheel goes around. It pushes against the pavement which makes the bicycle go forward. The wheels also have a fairly large diameter, an important feature. That enables them to work as gyroscopes. Like any other gyroscope, as long as they are in motion, they tend to remain in the same plane. That helps keep the bicycle upright. Thus, a bicycle in motion does not tend to fall over.
The size of the wheels have been determined by experiments over the years. Larger wheels would make the bicycle more stable but would make the bicycle harder to push. Smaller wheels would be less expensive but would make the bicycle less stable.
