Just wait till you start riding motorcycles. It is exactly the same but
totally different at the same time. Push down on the inside peg, push into
the tank with your knee, slightly bend your inside shoulder, move your chin
over the inside handle bar grip, push the out side bar away from you.....all
at about the same time. Only you are half the weight of the bike in stead
of the bike weighing 10% of your weight.
Bicycles go where you are eyes are pointed, so ALWAYS LOOK at where you want
to go.
NEVER death grip the bars.
Think of steering a bike as you would a pair of skis. Keep your weight on
the inside edge of the outer ski. Only instead of skis its pedals, and your
out side leg should extend.

What on earth does this mean?
> counter-steer and angulate
When I ride my bike I actually use the handlebars to steer, not a
protractor and slide-rule.
