BKU / DISCOVERY TRAIL

Mixed-surface confidence

I want one bicycle path that can move between pavement and unpaved surfaces without pretending every mixed surface is the same.

STEP 01

Gravel cycling

Start with the riding environment.

Gravel cycling considered as a riding environment and set of rider problems, not merely a label.

Discipline · bku.discipline.gravel
STEP 02

Gravel bike

Inspect the broad machine archetype.

Gravel bike archetype organized around mixed surfaces.

Bike type · bku.bike_type.gravel
STEP 03

Mechanical trail

Open one geometry variable without turning it into a handling verdict.

Horizontal ground-plane distance between the steering-axis intersection with the ground and the tire contact-point reference in a simplified bicycle geometry model.

Geometry · bku.concept.trail
STEP 04

Tire

Follow geometry into the contact system.

Provides the bicycle-ground contact envelope and contains or supports inflation depending on system

Component · bku.component.tire
STEP 05

Pneumatic tire support

Trace how pressure, casing and contact interact.

Mechanism · bku.mechanism.pneumatic_tire_support
What this trail means

The sequence is editorial. It shows one useful path through the graph, not a universal purchase recommendation or causal chain.
