I have good Given eye hand coordination as well as my foot coordination as well 2:33

Plus. Using my knees on cornering as my riding style while I ride bike 5:03

I've been binge watching these videos trying to find answers on how to find out the real maximum lean angle on your bicycle because I had an accident leaning into a corner on gravel a few months ago. I know now that the cause of the accident was a combination of wearing out breaks - I had just come out of a much tighter corner with even more speed, and I could smell the brakes for 5 minutes before, though I thought it was the ebike motor having trouble climbing up the hill - breaking too quickly causing slippage and obviously speed and road tyres on gravel. I now have trouble cornering because of the lost confidence - the bike feels "wobbly" when pedalling and I'm scared of leaning too much so much so I either barely lean at all or slow down too much. So far I didn't find a satisfying answer, everonye seems crazy leaning so much to me right now - but I will try the experiment at 07:05 on different surfaces, and I'll try to push boundaries at least at low speeds (but not too low, that's actually more dangerous obviously), hopefully I'll be able to have fun biking as before in no time!

@@MenkoDany yea it's really scary bcuz in the area i live in gravel and sand are everywhere even in the middle of the road so i just tested my boundries going low speeds

@@techartic4771 I kind of did that too before, I've realised quickly that leaning on gravel is just recipe for disaster. Thing is, while I was going downhill that day, I was testing my limits, and I was successfully going further than I anticipated. I wasn't even thinking I was doing something crazy the turn that I crashed... Now I'm scared to even try at low speeds because doctors told me I can't fall again for months otherwise it won't heal or wil heal badly. Currently both of my wrists hurt even though it's been 4 months. I can't even do a painless pull-up :/

@@MenkoDany I wish you a speedy recovery, i guess you have to slow down when leaning for a couple months then try again and don't push the bike to the limit.

@@MenkoDanyThanks for sharing your story and hoping you overcome your injuries.

Yes, have no idea what they're on about. They contradict themselves.

That's the single most important thing to keep in mind! Thanks for writing it down

it's easier to show the ideal line, when you have the whole road to work with. It makes it clearer for the audience. However, the same principals apply on a closed road, you just use the road available to work with.

@@Bad_Science_Channel You mean clip the white line early and drift off towards the railings ???

haha glad you spotted that. it cracked me up! (on the corner)

or the strategically placed drain cover.

CnE That is way I'm using 32mm tyres! Lol

Yes

John Lyons from what I understand, could you be leaning a bit forward and grabbing too much front brake? I'm a similar weight and tend to de-weight saddle and slide back a bit, not sure if it works but I feel more confident anyway

Low your pressure the number is not important just inflate and test with al your wheight in the wheel if hit the rim is too low you wanna put enough to put al your wheight a deform good but without touching the rim that way the tyre will be faster in broken roads a offer more grip in wet. But with perfect dry Roads you can use max pressure will be very fast

but the weight is not supported by friction in the tyre-patch, but - like a table on the floor (sorry, don't know how to express in English...) one more thought: theoretically, weight doesn't matter at all, since the max. friction force is proportional to the weight-component. double weight -> double centrifugal force -> but also double max. friction force (limit of centripetal force)

it was shot the week before Gwyneth arrived!

or in GB, where they come up on the same side of the road😱

helpful though

sounds like a good idea for a video that!

Cycling has so much in common with motorsport and car culture, too bad the two worlds often only meet with malice.

ObliskWA on an open road. They are presumably using a closed road.

Concept

reflectionsdetail To go round a right handed, push on the right side of the bars. To go round a left handed push on the left side of the bars. On a motorbike this drops the bike into the corner nicely, however it would be unwise to use the same amount of force on a bicycle. It’s the same as everything else, practise makes perfect (or at least better!)

It doesn't really matter -- it's something you're already doing, to pretty much exactly the right degree, without even knowing that you're doing it.

acc. to my understanding counter-steering is as follows: to enter a right-handed turn, you first steer to the left. the centrifugal force 'forces' you into a tilt to the right (leaning into the corner), and then you steer to the right. you have to do this on every 2-wheeler, otherwise there is no way leaning into the corner. (unless you wait until you fall to the right side by chance). the more you steer to the opposite side, the more you will tilt over from the beginning on.

They say this ffs 🤦‍♂️

I agree, most of us do not have the luxury of a close course. I would like to see your line, when you don’t cross the center line.

To be fair there's only so many topics you can cover and cornering is a pretty fundamental one.
