Push left, go left. Push right, go right. Just the opposite of a

Huh?

He's correct. ame on a motorcycle. Push the left handle forward, the
bike will make a left turn. ush the right handle forward, bike turns to
the right.

Try it sometime.

Ok I just did.

Pushing the left handlebar forward moves the front wheel to the right.

Pushing the right handlebar forward moves the front wheel to the left.- Hide quoted text -

Did you take into account the shifting of your weight in order to
"push"
(down?) on the left handle bar?

The shifting of weight will lower the center of gravity, enabling a sharper
turn with less lean angle. I think Tom was just experimenting with a bike
at rest. If he had any speed on the bike, he'd be on the ground.

All due respect John, but I was riding and I've been riding bicycles
for a long time - since I was a kid in fact.

As to speed, there is a long hill with a right hand curve that I use
to build speed for a long straight run - that's where I did my
experimenting.

I didn't hit the ground.
