An arrangement of Bicycle Wheel for the purposes of stabilizing a bicycle with a gyroscopic effect. A flywheel 3 is mounted between first 1 and second covers 2, at least one of which supports the rime 4a which engages tyre 4. The housing 1, 2, may engage a hollow shaft 6 which is mounted on an axle 5 by bearings 7. The wheel may include an electric motor to instigate rotation in the flywheel, by engaging a surface of the flywheel 3 with a frusto-conical wheel, which may have a soft elastomer or polymer surface. The motive means may be held against the surface of the flywheel 3 by a sping. The flywheel 3 may be removed by removing one cover 1, 2, and disengaging a bolt or clip.
