Bicycle Engineering

Bicycle Engineering is the science and practice of applied mechanics involved in the design and manufacture of bicycles. This complex field of engineering utilizes principles from several disciplines including mechanical engineering, materials science, electrical engineering, physics, and biomechanics to develop bicycles that are lightweight, efficient, and aerodynamic for superior performance among cyclists. Notable works in Bicycle Engineering include wheel-spoke optimization for increased speed, the development of carbon fiber frames reducing the overall weight of the bike, and adjustable seat heights for rider comfort.
