Guys!

Now you know what Isaac Newton was b*tching about all those years ago.

A bicycle is a gyroscopic device, and will find its own balance so long as it is moving faster than a walking pace. The whole bike could be rolling along, bent-framed or off-center loaded, tilted a few degrees from vertical, and you'd probably never notice. As long as the bike was happy with its balance, it wouldn't necessarily "pull" to one direction or the other. Countersteering for turns would work exactly as it would for a better balanced, more vertical bike.

Ever seen a motorcyclist ride inside a Wall of Death? 25 - 30 mph, and he can ride SIDEWAYS in perfect balance. He can countersteer to climb or descend the wall, and it makes no difference whatsoever that he has his whole a$$ hanging off one side of the saddle. And you thought that the Wheel-O you got for your eighth birthday (okay, I got one) was just a stupid toy!

I bet you'd have to grossly overload a bike in order to affect its balance... say, one front pannier with a cinder block in it... yeah, that'd do it.

The only thing that the Rainman is likely to notice is his bike's tendancy to turn just a tiny little bit faster in one direction than the other, and he's probably attributed that to his riding style.
