Forgot to mention this yesterday.

I have signed up for a MC riding course at Excalibur Motorsports in
Plainfield.

I intend to put this left/right controversy to rest once and for all
not out of disrespect for your opinions but because you are wrong.

Not that there is anything wrong with that. :)

And I would point out to all you heathens who actually believe that
left/right nonsense that up until ten or so years ago, it was thought
that the curveball didn't curve - it was an optical illusion.

EXCELSIOR!! :)

Well, if they don't teach you to countersteer, you've wasted your money and
time.

No, neither of us were wrong.

Good luck with the course.- Hide quoted text -

You have to countersteer, otherwise you'll hit the port side of the

I just came back from a morning walk/jog and decided to take the bicycle out
for a ride and test the steering issue on it. Thought it would be a good
idea to check the air in the tires, but it has weird valve stems that I've
never seen before and a conventional tire gauge fitting doesn't fit on it.
I inadvertently let all the air out of the front tire fooling around with
it. The bike's a Trek Hybrid. I guess I'll have to go back to the dealer
later and get whatever I need to fill it back up.

I'll submit my steering results later.

Medium rare without the feathers if you would.

Assuming, of course, that I am wrong.

And we all know that NEVER happens... :)

I would be very interested in comparing your results with mine.

I'm willing to admit that I'm not doing something right, but I can't
make that work for me on my bike.

By the way, how do you like the Trek Hybrid?

Kind of reminds me of a song.

Or not.

By the way, how do you like the Trek Hybrid?

Haven't really used it enough to form an opinion, plus I don't know that
much about modern bicycles. When I was looking for a new bicycle, the Trek
name was recommended in many reviews, so I decided on it. It *is*
reasonably comfortable and so far seems to be well made.
The Hybrid is designed for both road use and casual off-road trail use. It
can be converted to a true "mountain bike" by changing the rims and tires.
I doubt I'll ever need to.

Trek is either the last, or one of the last American made bicycles. The big
names (Schwinn, etc.) are mostly importers now of bikes built in China.
Lance Armstrong used a Trek in several of his Tour de France victories.

Despite 7 months of daily, fairly rigorous exercise, bicycle pedaling uses a
whole new combination of muscles and takes some getting used to.
