Abstract
Let be a surface with a Riemannian metric and the unit tangent bundle over with the canonical contact sub-Riemannian structure on . In this paper, the complete local classification of singularities, under the Legendre fibration over , is given for sub-Riemannian geodesics of . Legendre singularities of sub-Riemannian geodesics are classified completely also for another Legendre fibration from to the space of Riemannian geodesics on . The duality on Legendre singularities is observed related to the pendulum motion.
