Its not so much something that "just happens" as something that is learned. Go out for a trip with your local serious bike club (after training hard for 12 months just to be able to keep up) and try "half wheeling", passing on the wrong side, standing up incorrectly, speeding up after the crest of a hill, slowing down at the start of a climb, or using your brakes in anything other than a life-threatening emergency. They wont be scared to set you straight.
- all2 8y agoAbout 200 years ago it was a similar thing for 'shave tails': new Cavalry recruits. A shave tail would go on a spur ride (earn their spurs) and get their butt handed to them for about two weeks straight, or until they got the hang of riding a horse in a safe manner.
