The passive response of the rider's body to bicycle oscillations is experimentally studied by means of laboratory tests. Lumped element models of the rider's body are developed and the relevant stiffness and damping parameters are identified from experimental results. The biomechanical model of the rider is coupled with the benchmark model of the bicycle and open-loop stability analysis is carried out. Results show that the stiffness and damping parameters of the waist do not strongly affect bicycle stability. Uncontrolled arm stiffness has a very detrimental effect on stability and destroys the self-stabilization mechanism. Arm damping has a more complex effect and reduces the self-stability region.
