The number of times a bicycle tire rotates in a given time period is directly related to thedistance traveled in that time period. Consider the following scenarios.
A bicycle with 26-inch tires is being pedaled so that the tires are rotating at a rate of 200revolutions per minute.
A second bicycle with 20-inch tires is being pedaled so that the tires are also rotating at arate of 200 revolutions per minute. Which bicycle do you think is going faster? Why? Use the concepts of angular and linear velocityin your answer.
