Motor Doping and Chinese Democracy

On the pave

Try it yourself…

Possibly because we ran a ‘shopped photo with Mini Lance pushing Ryder’s bike and insist that “motor doping” is as real as that album Axl Rose keeps promising; whatever it was, insiders were texting me their frustrations yesterday….

Here’s the most relevant comment…

Lay your bike on the ground on a hill. You’ll notice that the bike will spin to orient itself so that the pedal touching the ground (one of only 2 touch points. The other is the handlebar) will cause the bike to rotate so that the pedal is oriented as high as it can go in the crank rotation.

And geez, this just might cause the wheel to spin as the pedal is rotating the bike into its favored orientation.
