What does it mean to be a good 'Bike Handler'

Notices
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

Mountain biking will help a lot, there are lots of skills you need just to do technical climbs and decents.

Good bike handling starts when you are preteen if you ride in terrain for pleasure and are daredevil type. If you spend some time in open (meaning safe) space with some dirt or gravel on the surface and practice drifting, turning around in a skid or maybe even making 360 degree spin that way.
