## What Jamie wrote

This is an epic illustration of all of the physics involved in riding a bike. It is massive and covers everything from riding positions to contact patches. The really cool thing is the entire article is accompanied with interactive diagrams that help show you the concepts in easy to understand ways. Text books should be this informative! Incredible work.
