Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

For the brave, take your hands off the bars, try leaning at 20+ mph, see how tight a radius you will get compared to hands on

Countersteering in 4w vehicle has nothing in common with 2w
You're counter steering below 5mph as well. Unless you fall down every time you try to change direction below 5mph...then you might be doing something else

Funny. Just the other day I was wondering when the next counter-steering thread would be started.

We need to move on. Next topic: "counter steering with disc brakes vs. counter steering with rim brakes."
