It's due to the gryoscopic stability of the bike. I just returned from my morning bike ride on my brandy new mountain bike. I push the handle bar left, it goes bicycle goes right. I lean left, the bicycle goes left. I think, based on this morning's experiments, that this is one of those Myths (don't bother - I've already submitted it to Mythbusters) that is based on observation error. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. :) Now .... did you know that helicopters were impossible to fly until gyroscopic progression was recognized and accounted for in the control of the rotating airfoils? Yes. Somehow boating will tie into this somewhere..... Pontoons on helicopters. And the CG and Navy fly helicopters. Ipso Facto - QED - boating thread. :) Everyone who believes that a bike will turn left when the left handlebar is pushed foward, do this: Go down the street, and find a 90 degree left hand turn, just like a city street. Approach at a normal speed for the turn, push the left handlebar forward, the right back and tell me what happens. I missed the turn. |
