SUMMARY:Brown bag: Andy Ruina
DESCRIPTION:Title: Why Don't Bicycles Fall Down?\nSpeaker: Andy
	 Ruina\nAbstract: You can balance a bike with hands on the handlebars. Or
	 off. And\, surprising if you haven't seen it\, a bike can balance
	 itself\, with no person touching it. When viewed from the back\, a
	 bicycle looks like a stick balanced on end. If it tips a little\,
	 gravity pulls it down more.\n\nA bike should 'want' to fall over\, but
	 why doesn't it? There are famous popular theories going back over 100
	 years\, some by famous people. Maybe\, the spinning wheels are like a
	 top or gyroscope? Maybe it's the steering geometry? New experiments show
	 that these ideas are (mostly) wrong.\n\nSome of the bike ideas are
	 related to how people don't fall down when they walk\, and how to make
	 better walking robots.
