Yes, bicycle frames can undergo physical change. When metal bike frames get warm, the expand a little bit. It's not much, but they do, and this change is a physical one. All bike frames warm up just a little bit when we ride them. The frames flex just a tiny bit when we apply the stress of riding to them, and they will respond to the flexing by warning up, and the increases in temperature will cause the material to expand just a little bit. In metal frames, the metallic properties of the material from which the frame is made will undergo changes. Metals that flex or move while in use undergo what is called work hardening. The metallic crystal structure changes and smaller crystals form out of larger ones, and the metal becomes brittle. This is just one form of physical change that a bike frame can undergo.
A physical change of a bike from would be if it is bent or cut.

Is a rusting bicycle a physical or chemical change?

Ah, what a lovely question. When a bicycle rusts, it's actually a chemical change taking place. The metal is reacting with oxygen and moisture in the air, creating a new substance called iron oxide. It's all part of nature's way of transforming things, just like how we transform a blank canvas into a beautiful painting.

telescopeHe did not invent the telescope. He held a patent (Oct 1899) on improvements to the bicycle frame, specifically to allow it to come apart for storage. I do not know if he held any patents for improvements to the telescope.


Is a tree a shell structure?

FRAME STRUCTURESFrame structures are structures that are made up of rigid (stiff, firm, difficult to bend) parts joined together to form something called a framework. These parts are known as members. There are lots of examples of frame structures such as a bridge - a bridge is a frame structure that spans a gap, and a bicycle is a frame structure that supports a load such as the mass of a person.SHELL STRUCTURESShell structures contain or protect things from the outside and are usually hollow inside. In a shell structure, the outside layer of the structure holds the whole object together. Examples of shell structures are the mug that holds your coffee, the snail shell which both protects and contains the snail, honeycomb which contains and protects bee's honey and shells of nuts.

What is a chemical change for a bicycle frame?

A chemical change for a bicycle frame would involve a reaction that changes the composition of the material making up the frame.
