what are the physics aspects of a bicycle?

Answer 1

Everything on a bicycle (or anything else if you look deep enough) can come down to physics.

The most obvious physics principles at play are:
-Kinematics (motion, both rotational and translational)
-Forces (friction and torque especially)

You are going to need to be more specific as to what you are asking. You wouldn't just be wanting a list of how physics applies to a bicycle without some underlying motive.

Answer 2

You would need to be more specific in what you mean by "physics aspects of a bicycle", but the thing that keeps it stabilized is Gyroscopic Stabilization from the two wheels spinning just like a gyroscope toy.

Answer 3

To model a bicycle, you could use very little to almost all of physics.
In ascending order of refinement:

statics (how the bicycle holds you up)
kinematics (bicycle simplified to a gliding box)
dynamics (angular effects, balance, steering)
static deformation (compression in the struts)
fluid mechanics (tires, wind)
dynamic deformation and vibration (metal fatigue)
magnetic, quantum, relativistic effects?? (only if this is a VERY fast bicycle...)

Answer 4

While pedaling bicycle ,our muscular energy get transferred to the rear wheel of bicycle with the help of axle . (muscular energy changes to rotational energy which get transferred to rear wheel with the help of torque produced by our force ). As the rear wheel moves friction comes into play and interestingly only rolling friction opposes motion of wheel whereas kinetic friction supports it .

As the cycle and driver both forms a system ,so the force applied by driver is actually applied on ground (not on cycle) and in the reaction ground pushes the system(driver and cycle ) forward .

The cause of motion of rear wheel is your transfer of muscular energy to it and as well as kinetic friction ,but the front wheel moves only because of kinetic friction.

when U will stop pedaling then also cycle moves forward for some distance because of kinetic friction
