    I seemed to have unknowingly trained for this most of my life. I used to ride a lot of MTB street and would ride everywhere backwards, my nickname was "Backwards Ben" 🤣
    There are a few key tricks to riding backwards.
    1 - Don't look down at your front wheel, look at the horizon.
    2 - Make micro-adjustments to your steering, big sweeping turns are difficult to recover from.
    3 - Speed is your friend, it's much easier to control with a bit of pace.
    4 - Practice, a lot of it!

      This is different.
      I did the same with my bikes, HOWEVER, the bike itself would still go forward, keeping the steering forward.
      In this way its going backwards, putting the steering at the rear. A rear steering changes everything.

  • @bobbobert9379
    @bobbobert9379 Před 10 měsíci +2

    1:00 expanding on the positive vs negative feedback: a bike rolling forwards has negatice feedback because the contact point of the front wheel is behind the turning axis of the handlebars. This means that when the wheel is turned, not only does the bike lean into the turn, the frictional forces impart a torque on the turning axis in the opposite direction of the turn, pushing the wheel back to center. When rolling in reverse, the contact point is now in front and the torque is in the same direction as the turn, causing the wheel to turn more in the same direction rather than self stabalizing, making any small misalignment compound on itself.

In the same video on James taking a break, they mentioned how they began to feel less personal and more like a company. This video makes it feel like some changes are taking place, and it was very fun to watch! It looked like everyone involved had a lot of fun making it!

    I'm injured at the moment but one of my 4 bikes is my fakie bike . Since I live in a flat area I flipped the sprocket and coaster brake so it pedals backwards .
    The pedaling forwards and going fakie is a huge challenge. If it pedaled backwards it would be easier to ride .
    When I'm on my flatland bike I instinctively pedal backwards as it doesn't have a free coaster .
    The snake pattern is key .
    I know people who fakie fast and I don't know how they do it . I fakie slow and they don't know how I do it .
    If you configure it to pedal backwards you can learn to ride it and will succeed .

    1:50 the stability that the bike has going forward is because of the "caster angle". If its positive, like in a bike, it self-stabilices the wheel. If its negative, like in a shopping cart, it makes it wanna flop around.
    The extreme version of this would be... The Citröen 2cv!
    The strange suspension of that car has a caster angle of almost 90°!. So when its going backwards, its surprisingly easy to flip over the whole car if you're not careful!

  • @djmulder
    @djmulder Před 9 měsíci

    The issue doesn't seem to be the moving backwards at all. The reaction of your steering to it is. You can see it in most trying, once they go straight it goes well, but once they start to balance they are on the floor.
    Others said it: sit on it backwards.. I think it's the best chance for your brain to react with steering.. You just need to practice all the other hard things, but those seem to be just repetition and not reaction from your brain

  • @mustaprox
    @mustaprox Před rokem +138

    Fun fact, if you turn the steering wheel backwards you would defeat the castor angle and make it correct its way in the backwards direction instead of front direction, it’s the same as in a car where it self corrects after a u-turn but it would drift to a side in reverse.

    as a mountainbiker that knows how to ride backwards (without the ability to pedal but nontheless) i have a couple of tips to do it better:
    1: Resist the automatic thing where you start bending over the bars and try to rather sit more upright as you normally would when going forward.
    2: Generally try to steer as little as possible as steering will acumulate more and more when you arent used to riding backward and will lead you to fall after seconds.

    Make a bike where the turning is controlled by the pedals and the speed is controlled by the handle bars sorta like those little plastic cart toys that you wobble the handle bars to move it

    What if you inverted the front fork angle, so that the fork is angled backwards?

    Change the angle of the front fork or in other words the angle of the bearing assembly holding the front fork to make it more stable going in reverse.

  • @ig-rd5923

    I wonder if it would be ridable if combined with the inverted steering bike.

    A bike with legs would be cool. Fully mechanical challenge. Then build 2 and have a jousting competition.

  • @AssistantJames
    @AssistantJames Před rokem

    If the bike falls away from you when you turn, would adding a mechanism to invert the steering input help?

  • @nugenki
    @nugenki Před rokem +5

    People that claim a "reverse steering" bike would help are wrong. I can fakie, or go backwards on a bike, but learning how to do that on a "reverse steering" bike was more difficult than going forward.

  • @storminmormin14
    @storminmormin14 Před rokem +5

    You guys should combine this with the smarter every day bike. Theoretically they could cancel each other out and be like riding a normal bike but it goes backwards.

    • @liambrinton9935
      @liambrinton9935 Před rokem

    • @blahorgaslisk7763
      @blahorgaslisk7763 Před rokem +1

      They'd just give up the moment it only goes backwards. The inverted steering gag is better for those. Then they would at least try a few times before figuring out it just not worth it. More fun that just seeing a guy ditch it immediately.

  • @Blockschrott
    @Blockschrott Před rokem +4

    I'm wondering, would reversing the steering make it easier, or even harder to ride this backwards bike

    • @oduinn7948
      @oduinn7948 Před rokem

      Harder more than likely, but definitely not easier. Directional steering isn't the problem here, it's stability. Unless you're saying having the steering effect the rear wheel instead of the conventional wheel, in that case.... Maybe?

  • @DysonParkes
    @DysonParkes Před rokem

    I'd love to see one where you adapt a bike so the pedals power the front wheel, and the handlebars turn the rear wheel. Essentially a forklift-steer bicycle.
    Also, great to see so many students genuinely getting amongst it. I agree, that did seem more fun than calculus.

  • @jamespike5161
    @jamespike5161 Před rokem

    A little bit of drag on the front brake once you get some speed (just a tiny bit, not enough to lock it up) would probably result in increased front wheel stability.

  • @thedrakenangel
    @thedrakenangel Před rokem

    Start off with locking the front wheel in one position..... i.e. prevent the handle bars from turning.... the first bikes had no steering . that will resolve most of your issues. remember that when we are riding we for the most part do not move the steering unless it is a very tight turn..
