The last time our fair was in town there was this
bike that if you ride it like 20 feet past a cretain point.
You got any prize and the trick was when you turn the handle bars
the front tire would go the oppisite way causeing the rider to loose
his balance or her because they could not keep it straight while
pedeling. There was like 3 feet wide area marked off by cones that you could not go out of. But of course all the people who worked
there could ride it no problem one of them rode around on it all the way around like 12 rides.
you had to have both hands on the handle bars and your butt could not leave the seat
and you could not pop a wheelie. The front tire could not leave the ground following all these rules The workers had no problem rideing it i want to know the physics behind it and the secrete to rideing a bike like that it was a 1 speed
Much like the sports trick bikes you can buy except it had the ball bareing gear contracption between the handel bars

There is not much physics behind riding it like that. It is basically riding a broken bike. What I recommend is to practice riding bikes no-handed to get a feel for the balance required to riding a bike with broken steering. That way, you don't have to rely on handlebars; all you need is leg-power and strong balance.

Try riding with your hands crossed - With your left hand on the right handlebar and your right hand on the left handlebar. That will make it feel like a normal bike.
