Another pronouncement from the all-knowing. I can guarantee such
is not the case at my airport, with its 2 intersecting rwys.

I can guarantee that there are other airports besides yours.

Why?


To force the bicycle's momentum to carry it to the left. The wheel
will then turn on its own to the left to restore the equilibrium, and
so will the bicycle.

Wrong. Guess again -- or use one of those fabulous references you claim
to have.

It will stay up by itself as long as it has traction and power (or
momentum).

offenses against the 'Getting out of sketches without using a proper
punchline' Act, four, namely, simply ending every bleedin' sketch by
just having a policeman come in and... wait a minute.
(Another policeman enters.)
Policeman: Hold it. (puts his hand on Inspector Thompson's
Gazelle's shoulder)
Inspector: It's a fair cop.

And now for something completely different:

Where did you come up with that statistic?


It's statistically inevitable.

Not on this planet, it isn't.

I can guarantee that those other airports are designed with knowledge of
the prevailing winds in the area.

I can guarantee that prevailing winds are not in the same direction
for every airport.

"Power" is unrelated to the gyroscopic stability in the equation. Bicycles
travel a large propoortion of the time without application of power to either
wheel.


Yes, through momentum. But this momentum is eroded by irreversible
effects such as friction with the ground and air. Eventually none is
left, and the bicycle stops.

As long as there is power to the wheel, it will compensate for any
losses, and the bicycle will continue to move. Similarly, as long as
the bicycle has momentum, it will continue to move. In both cases, as
long as the wheels retain their traction with the ground, the bicycle
will not fall.
