Cornering

[Frosties]

I think countersteering is sort of instinctive...

It is, in that people are taught to lean into a corner.  By leaning to the left, you push on the left bar, pushing the front wheel to the right, which makes the bike go left.  So it’s not leaning that turns the bike but the pressure you apply to the bar by leaning.

So if you're going round say a left hand bend and look down at the handle-bars, they'll be angled to the right?.

Umm no.

The answer is YES, the bars will be slightly angled to the right.
