Outreach mini-grant report: Physics of bicycles

ORAL

Abstract

Bicycle shops provide an ideal venue for physics outreach: Technically-minded people of all ages come to bike shops to learn more about their beloved nonlinear machines. Funded by a 2023 FOEP mini-grant award, we designed two posters and ran a hands-on workshop at Uptown Bikes in Chicago. We describe the poster creation process and workshop activities.
