A good examples are musicians tasked with playing difficult passages. They learn specific fingering sequences to avoid the trap of getting caught at an impossible transition.

But counter steering a bicycle becomes automatic on it's own, because it's part of the natural process of keeping a bike upright. The expression that once you learn to ride a bike you never forget is true. The skill can get rusty through lack of practice, but the process is burned into the brain for life.

This is why we cannot ride a bicycle with reverse steering inputs. Someone who's never ridden learns very quickly, but anybody who's ever ridden a bicycle, even 50 years ago cannot unlearn without great effort and time. And once you've learned to ride a backward bike, you won't be able to ride a normal one. Apparently the autopilot system cannot store two systems and switch back and forth. This makes bike riding (which is controlled in the cerebellum) very different from being multi lingual (which is controlled in the cerebrum).
