It's the usual way to turn when using your hands too - in fact, you (subconsciously) turn your handlebars the "wrong" way when cornering on a bike (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Countersteering https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Countersteering). This is very counterintuitive and discussing it is a good way to start arguments...
- ccozan 11y agoI thought that countersteering is only for motorcycles? But then , cite "The entire sequence goes largely unnoticed by most riders, which is why some assert that they do not do it", end cite, is most probably true.
- randlet 11y agoCountersteering is becoming more well known know amongst motorcyclists (thanks to more rider training and the internet), but some riders go there whole lives without knowing about countersteering. This is unfortunate because learning to consciously countersteer makes you a much safer and more skilled rider. The same holds for bicycles too I suppose.
