For giggles I rode straight and true and purposely kept my body
straight
while gently pushing on either handle bar. Everything you and I were
saying, JohnH, is 100 percent true.

We must have patience, understanding and forgiveness for the
non-believers.

Now do the experiment with a good old fashioned bicycle, the original
object of the discussion. ;-)


I will. I suspect that above a certain speed (don't know what that is
yet)
that it will act similarly to the motorcycle, however I shall keep an open
mind.

At normal riding speed, the action is the same.


Normal for who?


For anyone from about age 8 to age 80. Whatever speed you would ride at,
which is faster than walking speed. At walking speed, a bicycle steers like
a tricycle because the rake in the front end doesn't come into play.
