Bicycle Riding on Square Wheels

Posted by Hemos on Monday April 5, 2004 @05:16AM from the larnin'-more dept.

Roland Piquepaille writes "Before starting our long working week, let's relax with this story of a bicycle with square wheels. No, it's not a joke. And it even rides smoothly. But there is a trick: the road must have a specific shape. The Math Trek section of Science News Online tells us more about this strange bicycle -- actually a tricycle with two front wheels and one back wheel. Read this overview for some excerpts and a picture of the tricycle, or the original article for an additional animation."

We'll have your anger management class booked for later in the week. Please enjoy the complimentary tranquilizers.
