What is the aero bike for?
Aero is often a short for aerodynamic, and there are several bikes that can be said to be aerodynamic to some degree.
Are bmx bikes used in the Olympics?
Yes, BMX bikes were used in the 2008 Beijing Olympic and is going to be used in the 2012 London Olympic.
Why does an Olympic bike have more efficiency than a mountain bike?
Question doesn't quite make sense, as Mountain Biking is also an Olympic sport these days, meaning there are Olympic mountain bikes. I guess you are talking about road bikes vs mountain bikes. Road bikes are more efficient - for road riding - because they are lighter, have lower rolling resistance, a more aerodynamic riding position and doesn't lose any pedaling energy to suspension in the frame or fork. It's not really a fair comparison though. A MTB ridden off road will be more efficient than a road bike ridden off road.
How has technology affected racing bikes?
Due to stronger and lighter materials, the bikes have gotten lighter. Due to careful design and analysis, they roll easier and are more aerodynamic.
Who can ride bikes at olympic rowing events?
Coaches
What Olympic events aerodynamic egg position is Frances Jean Vuarnet credited with inventing?
Snowboard cross
How does technology help the cyclists to improve times?
Bikes and helmets can be made lighter more aerodynamic. Drive-trains can be made more efficient.
Do Olympic bikes have gears?
Yes. The road bikes and MTBs have multiple gears while the BMX and track bikes only have one.
What are some things that are aerodynamic?
Airplanes... Race cars... Spears... Bullets... Speed bikes... Racing motorcycles... Bicycle racing helmets... There is an endless list
Who invented the olympic bike?
No single person invented the olympic bike, it was a gradual development from the bikes produced for ordinary use. Eventually competition rules started regulating the design of the bikes as well, with wheel sizes, minimum weights ASO.
What is different about an Aero bar?
An aero bar increases the aerodynamic effect of a bike, and in some cases, can contribute to greater performance through better efficiency and speed. They are sold wherever bikes are sold.
What is the aerodynamic simulation?
Aerodynamic simulation
