And what, precisely, do you expect the "propulsive power" to be accomplishing
if the bicycle is stopped?



He said "when you approach stop." If the bicycle is still moving and
there is power to the wheel, it won't fall.


One has nothing to do with the other. The rider is solely responsible
for keeping it upright.

I've killfiled certain French residing trolls- but I assure you that I
purchased my own 1980 Baron. It actually costs around the same as a
comparable Bonanza of the same era. It has a moving map, stormscope, radar,
known ice, and a three axis autopilot.

I can assure you that it is a real one, not a sim, and that I work for a
living and did not inherit the funds. This is just more pointless and
irrational gibberish from the troll in France, who should go back to the sim
newsgroups.

I still don't understand why all of his initial questions are reasonable,
and then he goes off on these unsubstantiated and irrational tangents. He
should get a life and deal with people in person rather than hiding on the
internet.

If any here, 100% of them.



I doubt that. Barons are expensive, and most salaries wouldn't pay
for them. Other sources of income would probably come into play, such
as passive investments, etc.



Beyond all belief you say dumber and dumber stuff. A used Baron can be
had for a wide variety of prices. It's easy to find a Baron for less
than $100K, not much more than I paid for my Bonanza.

Ever gone fishing? You use bait, something the fish will bite. As soon as
they do, you pull real hard, and pull them in.

Anthony is a great fisherman.

The usual reasons for a bicycle falling
over are a loss of traction or a complete absence of propulsive power
to the rear wheel.


Well, that sounds like your definintion if design flaw. It falls down due
to a loss of traction.

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

It most certainly can.


No, it can't. Watch closely. The bicycle always falls because the
tires slip or because it comes to a stop.

I'd take the "P" factor airplane. It helps in controlling the airplane in

Hmm ... what sort of circumstances? It just seems like a nuisance to
me.
