Exploratorium's Science of Cycling
http://www.exploratorium.edu/cycling/

"Just want to get away from your science homework? Hop on a bike and go for a relaxing ride; get away from it all; coast down hills at breakneck speed; feel the breeze as it flows over your skin creating little whorls of air that create aerodynamic turb - hey! Yes, there's science to be found in cycling, and if you're interested in the sport, fascinated with bicycles, or just looking for a nifty science site, The Science of Cycling is a top-notch example of online education. Never too preachy or dry, the pages here take the reader through each aspect of a bicycle's construction and how it helps a cyclist's performance. The creators of the page at San Francisco's Exploratorium interview frame designers and professional cyclists for expert testimony that backs up their science lesson. It may not be the escape from your science homework you were looking for, but with a site this good, you'll find an equally enjoyable distraction."
