The fourth triennial international three-day symposium on bicycle and motorcycle dynamics, BMD 2019, will be held at the University of Padova, Italy, September 9-11, 2019. The aim of this symposium is to bring together leading scientists and researchers in the field of bicycle and motorcycle dynamics and control, in a broad sense.
