Re: [Phys-L] Stubborn brain habits

I was invited on a bike ride in my early teens by a friend. The 
conversation got around to steering bikes cross-handed, which implies 
reversed controls. He explained it is really really difficult. And after 
viewing the "Backwards Bike" video, I venture to suggest it is 
impossible, because it calls for fast reversal of 'built-in' muscular 
responses. At this time, I used a bike whose geometry made hands-off 
riding quite practical - still I fell immediately when I tried.
