Thermal camera footage allegedly shows pro cyclists using motors

That's really interesting about the gyroscopic effects myth, as it is one I strongly believe! Is there some documentation of the bike or some analysis of this I can read?

It's not a myth that gyroscopic effects contribute to stabilization, but rather that it explains the stabilization fully. It's usually phrased as "scientists still don't understand how bikes work [in terms of their stability]", which is pretty amazing if you think about it.

Actually, since about 5 years ago bicycle stability is pretty well understood: http://bicycle.tudelft.nl/stablebicycle/
