LZ’s Tech FAQ: Technical FAQ: The backward bike throw – Does the backward bike throw exist? Dear Lennard, In a post last July, you discussed the physics of the forward bike throw. My question is whether it is physically possible to throw a bike backward. One very often reads that when a rider stands out of the saddle, the bike is pushed backward into the trailing rider’s front wheel.
