Tracked Bike

2019-11-29 17:50:01.371581+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Shadow forwarded along a picture of a 3d model of a tracked mountain bike concept, and it's interesting to think about why, even if the materials science allowed something like this to work without huge efficiency losses from the flex keeping those front tracks round, this wouldn't work. Like the fact that during turns the front and rear wheels have different radius circles, so you'd be sliding all over the place...
