No, you can't ride a bike after all...

This was fascinating to me. I was going to post it in the video vault, but not many people check that out.

It's all about training your brain, and neural plasticity. Not surprisingly, younger folks are better at it.

Hey, he lives near me! (Well, about 25 minutes away). I'm a big fan of his youtube channel. He does a great job of exploring/explaining scientific stuff in an understandable and interesting way.

Most know that you can make a hard turn with a great lean.

I'm not responsible for any spills but try it sometime at speed as you would on a motorcycle - lean in to the turn and push out on the handlebar.

You will drop quickly, you will turn faster than you ever have and if you're not used to a motorcycle you will be on your way to the pavement.

Pull the handlebar smartly back so the front wheel is again in full alignment - accelerate immediately just like on a motorcycle - and trust the big gyros.

You'll be upright in a blink.

If you like to ride a motorcycle near as possible to the pavement unwinding roads then this is the trick for you.

Complete rush.

PS - obviously, the inside leg and pedal have to be all the way up at 12 o'clock - when I warned you'll lean, I meant it.

I love lean into the turns... clears the senses
