Section bicycle individual riding characteristics
Bicycles, also known as a bike or a cycle, are usually small two-wheeled land vehicles. After people get on the bicycle, they pedal as the power. Thus, a bicycle is a green, healthy and environment-friendly means of transportation. is the typical bicycle. There are many kinds of bicycles, including single bicycle, double bicycle and multi-person bicycle.
Figure 1.1 Typical bicycle (GIANT bicycle)
Bicycles can be used as environment-friendly vehicles for walking and traveling.
More and more people use bicycles as fitness equipment for cycling exercise and bicycle travel. Cycling itself is also a sport. There are road bicycle race, mountain bicycle race, field bicycle race, acrobatic bicycle race and so on.
Although kinds of bicycles are mentioned earlier, the bicycle traffic discussed in this book is the ordinary bicycles for commute trips. Cycling is a kind of flexible, portable and relatively low-speed traffic mode. The power of bicycle is generated by human body, so it is not suitable for long-distance travel.
The advantages of bicycle traffic include mobility, flexibility, economy and environmental friendliness (occupying small road area, no air pollution, etc.). Bicycle traffic plays an important role in urban transportation in developing countries, such as China.
In recent years, with the increasingly prominent environmental problems, bicycle traffic has become more and more valued as a green, flexible and efficient alternative traffic mode in developed countries with dispersed residence and developed motor vehicles.
From the road area occupied by a vehicle, a running bicycle with a speed of 15 km/h occupies a road area of 8 m2, while a car at the same speed occupies a road area of 50 m2, more than six times that of a bicycle. In fact, the average number of people in a car is far less than six.
Therefore, compared with motor vehicles, bicycle traffic has higher road efficiency.
As the microscopic dynamic characteristics of bicycles are quite different from those of motor vehicles, following we will introduce some unique bicycle microscopic riding characteristics.
