It looks a lot like the inverse of flow visualization with smoke or liquid. I guess that’s not coincidence?
Not a Physicist, so guessing a little. Both seem turbulent/chaotic systems that rely on the previous state. Each part of a dynamic flow/bike trajectory are small fractals of the initial instability/configuration. A bike is designed to steer straight - counter-steering - while moving, so it is unstable around the line/curve. On the other hand, fluid tend to become unstable at the slightest disturbance and if pushed forward, goes into a oscillating state that breaks up into eddies. I would guess that the bike’s forward instability gets exponentially higher at lower speeds, and the bike trajectory lines is not pushed forward as with moving fluid above, so the bike shows another turbulent/chaotic fractal system with a different starting configuration. …I think ;-)

Paths of 800 unsuspecting bicyclists being pushed until they fall over
A personal art project from the ward.
The upper half has more circular tracks. Wonder if Coriolis forces caused the minor differences.
800 of the same bicycle
if it was 800 different, you’d get a lot more noise
That is quite obviously my ear hair.
Neat. How well controlled was the push—did they push them or did a machine?
Probably
It was performed virtually.
Why does this look like my hair

Now repeat 799 more times
Already done, we’re up to our eyeballs in flight test data.
It’s pretty impressive that they pushed the bicycleIt’s pretty impressive that they pushed the bicycle to the right 800 times and half the times it went left instantly.
I think they mean to the right like straight from left to right.
