Show affiliationsA theoretical model of a moving bicycle is presented for arbitrary bicycle geometries at finite angles. The nonlinear equations of motion are derived and solved with the help of a computer. The solutions are tested for energy conservation, and examined with respect to inherent stability. For common bicycles, velocity and lean angle ranges of self-stable motion are predicted.
