Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / How do bicycles steer?

Excellent! I knew that neither rotational inertia nor trail were essential to a self-correcting, or self-steering bicycle but it appears (at least at first glance) that rake may be. That one of the researchers found an oscillation in testing that was NOT predicted by their equations is interesting, and points out the value of experiment coupled with theory. Sadly the math they are using is a bit beyond what I can quickly do these days, University was a long time ago. I will review as I have time. Thanks for the links.
