How hard is it to learn to bike? I'm always tempted by those parked bikes on the streets, but I can't cycle. Sorry if this is unrelated.
Hahaha
It's very easy.
Basically, if you're falling to the left, you turn the handle bar slightly to the left and lean very slightly to the left, this will upright you.
After about an hour of this, it will feel natural, and you can stay upright with little conscious thought.
Then learning to TURN properly is slightly different.
Newbies usually lean into the turn. but this is the incorrect method.
You should Lean the BIKE into the direction of the turn, but your BODY towards the Outside against the turn.
This proper technique ensures you can make the tightest turning radius possible, as it puts the weight closer to the contact surface of the wheel.
-- if you lean into the same direction of the turn, your wheel will slide outward, and you can only make large radius turns this way.
