If I didn't break my finger mountain biking a couple of weeks ago, I'd like to be on my bike right now. So I've been watching lots of videos about bikes. Most are of the !Xtreme MTB! variety, however there are also some great Bayblab worthy videos that I would like to share.
Bikes are a pretty cool intersection of physics and muscle memory. This first video is about the physics of how bikes are so stable.
This second video is about the backwards bicycle and some insights into neuroplasticity
And then, of course, bicycles and robots.
The bayblab is a collection of gradstudent post-graduate ramblings from labs all across the world in various states of employement.
Reviews of the podcast:
"The bayblab is so much better [than Science Friday]. It even has Stephen Hawking. All Ira Flatow can claim is that he’s interrupted people who are talking about Stephen Hawking."-Ben F.
"Penises, drugs, food and my music! What more could you ask for?"-KevinZ.
"Smart and snarky, the Bayblab team discuss science oddities, engaging in lively banter in the comments section that is an intellectual's playground." - Lim Leng Hiong
"Interesting news in science at slightly above the popscience level. Informal and funny."-Rumply
"When I happen to read a post, and it can be any post on this site, it is categorically thought inspiring"- Anders Rasmussen
"it's like butter melting over my pancakes good. I especially enjoyed the information on saving my genitals from a zipper accident."-Redge
