If the effective centre of gravity of a bicycle and its rider is
raised, eg, by placing a heavy load high up, perhaps by the wearing
of a loaded backpack, what effect does that have on its stability?
Does it:

(a) decrease stability, or

(b) increase stability, or

(c) have no effect on stability?

You're doing is the equivalent of saying that the sun rises over one
horizon and sets over another. When asked why? you then ask "are you
claiming it doesn't do this?" when the answer you should be giving
has something to do with orbit and rotation.

You claim a). Now show your working.

There we have it.

Where? There is no working.

You are insisting (with as much force as you dare for fear of
rightful ridicule) that raising a cyclist's centre of gravity will
not decrease that person's stability.

Thank you for being as clear as you feel able. It'll do. Your meaning
is plain enough.

Oh, it's certainly clear enough that you don't have a clue.


You are insisting that raising the centre of gravity does not affect
stability.

Thanks for making your (erroneous) position clear.


I recall that on a legal forum you once related how you started your
working career failing to be an electrical technician. You should know
there is more to science than stripping wires.


Great example of a straw man argument.

Are you still saying raising the centre of gravity has no effect on
stability?
