The fifth triennial [*] international three-day symposium on bicycle and motorcycle dynamics, BMD 2023, will return to its original host, Delft University of Technology, on October 18-20, 2023. 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.

Topics include but are not limited to: single track vehicles (e.g. bicycles, motorcycles, scooters), narrow track and tilting vehicles, unicycles, dicycles (e.g. Segways and hoverboards), modeling, kinematics and dynamics, control, human control, rider properties, handling qualities, tires, experiments, aerodynamics, simulators, nonholonomic dynamics, robot riders, path following. More information on the conference series can be found at the conference organization website.

For an open sharing of information, the meeting is organized to provide as much interaction between participants as possible. The format is informal and fluid, with a single track of presentations and extensive time scheduled for interaction, and the forming and sharing of ideas. In addition, there will be room for poster presentations.

[*]Due to disruptions from the coronavirus pandemic, we postponed the conference from the fall of 2022 to the fall of 2023.
