You're pushing down with your left foot, making the bike want to fall to the left. You're pulling up with your right hand, making the bike want to fall to the left. I don't get it.
I think you could either push with the opposite hand or pull with the same-side hand.
I'm waiting for the climbing fools to weigh in...
When you push down with your left foot on the left crank, that makes the bike want to rise to the right, not fall to the left. Some guy named Newton..., equal, opposite reactions...
