  Abstract: "The beauty of the bicycle resides in its sincerity. It conceals nothing. All its workings are open and visible." J. Bertaut (1936) A group of ten physics educators from six countries are collaborating to produce a set of multimedia interactive lessons centered on the scientific and cultural aspects of the bicycle. We are working with students using techniques such as; digital video capture, Calculator-Based Laboratory measuring tools, Interactive Physics simulations, MathScripts, etc. to develop instructional materials. Please attend our project poster session for direct exposure to the project materials.
