Solution

The angular velocity of the wheels of a bicycle when you ride it is to the right. This can be determined using the right-hand rule. If you point your right hand in the direction of the wheel's rotation (which is counterclockwise when viewed from the right), your thumb will point to the right. This indicates the direction of the angular velocity.
