03 Jun Lessons for World Bicycle Day

Posted at 09:28h in education by

If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you probably know that I love to go for long bike rides. That’s why I’m excited that today is World Bicycle Day! To celebrate World Bicycle Day I have some bicycle-related lessons to share with you. 

Planning Safe Biking Routes
You don’t have to go far to enjoy riding a bicycle. All you need is a bike, a helmet, and a safe place to ride. To that end, Google Maps and Strava can help you plan safe biking routes. In the following videos I demonstrate how you can use both of those tools to map safe bicycling routes. 

Can You Power a House With a Bicycle? is a video produced a few years ago by NPR’s Skunk Bear. The answer is no, you can’t power a house with a bicycle. The video does a great job of explaining how many bicyclists you would need in order to power an average house for a month.


Homemade Bicycle Generator is a video by Backyard Trail Builds (a channel about building bike trails and jumps). What’s good about this video is that the producer explained his initial mistakes and how he corrected them. The video is also not so detailed that it doesn’t inspire more curiosity about how to improve on the design. 

The Physics of Bicycling
Minute Physics offers two videos about the physics of bicycles. In How Do Bikes Stay Up? we learn how bikes stay upright, how design and weight influences balance, and why bicycles are difficult to balance in reverse.

The Counterintuitive Physics of Turning a Bike explains how we turn bicycles.

Are you a tech coach or media specialist looking for some new ideas to share with your colleagues? If so, 50 Tech Tuesday Tips is an eBook you need. You can get it right here.
