Hi!

Bicycles and motorcycles are among the smallest, swiftest in traffic, fastest and cheapest means of transportation. But they offer no protection in a collision. And you think there's nothing to do about that. 

You may be wrong.
Over 30 years of research  can surprise you:

I've worked since 1971 on the development of safer 2-Wheeler and 3-Wheeler bicycles and motorcycles.
I've arrived at two conclusions:

-1- Bicycle and motorcycle safety and fun to ride can definitely be increased. Click on the first link above:

- To discover a novel steering theory explaining why bicycles and motorcycles stay upright and ride so well.
- If you're a motorcycle rider: To discover a technique enhancing steering precision, safety, self confidence and, above all, fun to ride.
- If you're a road or mountain bike rider: To  discover how you can increase steering precision in order to hold  your 'line'.
- If you're interested in novel 2-Wheeler concepts: To discover how they can still be steered with ease and fun, even when the rider is held against a backrest by seatbelts, inside a protective structure.
- Or to know more about the contributions and limits of nine (9) other known 2-Wheeler steering theories (Countersteering, Gyroscopic reactions, Front fork geometry, Target fixation...).

-2- Road worthy 3-Wheelers can definitely offer advantages over road motorcycles in terms of safety, comfort, practical use and fun to ride. Click on the second link above:

- To discover an analysis of 3-Wheeler types developed up to now.
- Discover a 3-Wheeler type presenting a strong potential in terms of comfort, safety and fun to ride enhancement over regular 2-Wheeler road motorcycles.
- And examine two such 3-Wheeler prototypes.

Hope you have fun exploring this non-commercial site.
