Gyroscopic Precession SHORT VERSION explained logically (Spinning Tire on a string gyroscope gyro)

Attempt to explain gyroscopic precession short version and why bikes balance logically without talking about angular momentum. I just like logical explanations that don't involve simply memorizing formulas.
If you want a longer explanation the entire video is here:
• Gyroscopic Precession ...
I state that I haven't made a dollar on youtube; however, at the time of upload I have made $2.74. Take that to the bank.

    Counter steering works but if you've ridden long enough you can feel the bike's handlebars move very slightly in the right direction before gyroscopic forces take over.

    As I understand it, countersteering on a bike works less on the principle of gyroscopic precession (like a helicopter cyclic) but rather because the bike below it's center of gravity actually moves laterally in the direction you steer the handlebars for a fraction of a second (due to tires having contact/friction with the road), thusly causing the portion of the bike above it's center of gravity to move laterally (or lean) in the opposite direction (also due to momentum/centrifugal force, just like a car leans "left" when you turn right). The rider's natural instincts eventually stops him from applying more force to the handlebars (which would lean him all the way into the pavement) and you thusly lean through the turn "balanced" between gravity pulling the mass of the bike down and centrifugal force pulling the bike "up" (or laterally away from the center of you turn's arc/chord) as you drive through the turn. Although the effects of gyroscopic precession are coincidentally also working in favor of turning the bike the way the rider intends when countersteering, that effect is not really what does the lions share of the work in this case (that is getting the bike to lean quickly and thus turn quickly in the opposite direction) but GP is a factor no doubt. If anyone thinks I'm wrong on this, you might be right, I don't know the math and the actual proportions of these forces. I'd be curious to know if this is accurate or inaccurate.

    Visda58 Great video, by the way! I should have mentioned that the explanation of gyroscopic precession with the bicycle tire was the most logical I've seen. I've been trying to "internalize" the understanding of this phenomenon for a long time and this was the clearest explanation I've seen. Well done!

    When the tyre is stationary the only force is gravity which is pushing down, not sideways as you say. Because the wheel is supported on one side only, it may appear that the force is coming from the side, but its not.

    I think you are right on main force at work here (gravity), but I think he means that gravity is translated to torque and then re-translated in to the momentary linear force that is derived from torque. Tho I'm not 10% sure that I'm correct here.

    There is a torque on the wheel due to gravity which is parallel to the ground and the plane of the wheel. Analogous to the momentum vector of a particle "wanting" to point in the direction of the resultant force on a particle, the angular momentum vector of the spinning wheel (perpendicular to plane of wheel) "wants" to point in the direction of the torque on the wheel and hence the wheel moves around "chasing" the torque. The wheel must stay upright for this to happen, though the resultant force on it is 0. I just excepted this an experimental fact. However, you appear to be strongly hinting at a way to somehow "derive" it given Newton's second law for a particle.

    I don't think bicycle riders counter-steer with the bars. The bicycle is so light that a weight shift can cause a quick and effective counter-steer on its own. A motorcycle requires more force on the bars to initiate the turn, applied consciously or not, due to the higher speed and higher weight. Although a bicycle going down a hill at race speeds might be a different story!

    You do, at a much lesser scale but you actually do it. Try riding without your hands on the handlebars and steer with your weight looking closely at the handlebar -> they will initially move in the opposite direction of the turn and then to the inside of the turn. It is exactly the same as in motorcycles. :)
