These files contain the parameter sets for several bicycles (which include a
rigid rider) for the benchmark bicycle model as reported in [Meijaard2007] as
a comma separated list. The filename should follow this format [bicycle short
name]Par.txt where 'bicycle short name' is a capitalized one word name for
the particular parameter set, e.g. BenchmarkPar.txt. The variable names
inside the file must follow the same format as the example files. Most of the
files are generated with the BicycleParameters software package [Moore2012b].
