Wiki rocks - now I'm going to go see f' myself.

Wilber Wright is right; for most riders, the understanding of bike handling is visceral.

Motorcycles weigh more than bikes, hence their response to rider shift is much less; the tyres are also wider.

In the local crit, many riders seem to turn late; they exaggurate the (countersteer) setup and scrub speed carving it on a shorter radius.

It's a setup.
