Also see the work of Jason Moore (referenced in that blog) for whom it seems modeling bicycle dynamics in open source scientific python has been a huge passion for him for more than ten years. I remember in the scientific python development in those days there were these guys from like the hubble optics correction division and like the asml metrology department and then this one weird bicycle guy lol.
