For a given radius, what happens to the angular acceleration as linear acceleration increases?

Linear acceleration and angular acceleration are directly proportional. The greater the linear acceleration, the larger the angular acceleration.

For example, the greater the angular acceleration of a bike's wheels, the greater the acceleration of the bike.
