Bricycle gets some press in Science Magazine

[Jason Moore]

Andy Ruina's bricycle, which he showed off at BMD 2013, got some press in Science Magazine.

http://news.sciencemag.org/physics/2014/03/bicycle-tricycle-hybrid-counteracts-gravity

We had a leaning tadpole human/electric tricycle back at Davis which had a lock on the lean for low speeds (tricycle mode) and it would be unlocked at high speed (bicycle mode). It was a disaster and only a few could manage the abrupt transition from tricycle mode to bicycle mode.

Jason, thanks for sharing with the few who could get it.

I found the write up annoying/disappointing in not getting

either the history nor the description quite right, and sometimes confusing.  

My own attempt at the description is in this 3 minute video:

(Same as the one linked in the article, if you notice the link.)
