Dear GSL users and developers,
 I've been working on and off for the past couple of months on an open
source project, OBD, to bring the dynamics of the bicycle to a wider
audience by utilizing widely available open source tools.  Before going into
the extremely exciting details, here is some eye candy demonstrating what it
can do:

Nonlinear benchmark bicycle
simulation<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1uf3HoUI84>

Nonlinear bicycle simulation with toroidal
tires<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xxNEjwMbKw>

The equations of motion behind those animations were integrated numerically
using GSL's ODE library, and made use of the one-dimensional root finding
library, so I thought people might like to see an example of use of GSL.  I
would like to express my sincere gratitude for all the hard work that has
gone into GSL -- it has been great to use and I hope to someday make a
contribution myself.

If you find those animations interesting, you can check out my github
repository at:

and you can read more about the details of OBD on the Single Track Vehicle
Dynamics group here:

Thanks!
