An alternative system for reconciling slow boarding speeds with fast rope speeds is the carpet lift: the chairs move at full speed even through the terminal. Boarding passengers are progressively accelerated on a system of conveyor belts of carpet-like material until nearly matching the chair speed.
In the absence of aerial-lift bike racks, bikes must be hooked onto an ordinary lift chair (background). A aerial-lift bike rack is a form of aerial lift designed to lift a bike rack instead of a car or chair. Bikes are loaded at one end and unloaded at the other. They may be used on ski hills for summer mountain biking. [16]
A bicycle saddle, sometimes called a bicycle seat, is one of five contact points on an upright bicycle, the others being the two pedals and the two handles on the handlebars. (A bicycle seat in the specific sense also supports the back.) [ 1 ] The bicycle saddle has been known as such since the bicycle evolved from the draisine , a forerunner ...
Bicycle and motorcycle dynamics is the science of the motion of bicycles and motorcycles and their components, due to the forces acting on them. Dynamics falls under a branch of physics known as classical mechanics. Bike motions of interest include balancing, steering, braking, accelerating, suspension activation, and vibration. The study of ...
Most bike parks have a mix of dirtjumping, downhill, enduro and freeride terrain on the trails. Many ski resorts have embraced the sport, opening the chairlifts and building trails to rider in the summer. Lift-accessed bike parks are good because they offer the chance to make many more runs down a mountain than could be done without use of a lift.

A microadjust seatpost (black) of a Trek Fuel 80 mountain bike. A seatpost with a significant setback on a BMX bike. A bicycle seatpost, [1] seatpin, [2] saddlepole, [3] saddle pillar, [4] or saddle pin [5] is a tube that extends upwards from the bicycle frame to the saddle. The amount that it extends out of the frame can usually be adjusted ...
Swingbike, a fun-bike where both the front and rear fork can swing, so that the rider can turn both with their hips and with the handlebars, and thereby partially create propulsion with their hips [7] Risigo, a fun-bike where the seat moves up and down in coordination with the crank, so that the hip prevents (or contributes to) propulsion [7]
