When you're done with that bicycle riddle, try this bicycle mechanical
problem:

I got it, but by a very different mental process than what they used.

I'll hold off discussing until others have had a chance to work on it.

So little interest in the riddle that was actually technical!

It was relatively obvious (by virtue of the fact that it was posed as a
riddle, there had to be some non-intuitiveness to the answer) and I deduced
the right answer. There just wasn't much left to talk about afterwards.

Just curious: How did you deduce the right answer?

I can see one very detailed way, requiring some simple math, and one
sort of shortcut way, no numbers required. I used the shortcut.

Looking at the first picture, the entire bicycle, the bike doesn't

Is there supposed to be something there other than a written question?

Well, you're supposed to give the answer.

As it says:

"Problem

In a room there are 53 bicycles. There is also a table in the middle of
the room. A dead man with a bullet hole in his head is slouched in a
chair, face down on the table.

What happened?"
