[net.bicycle] A Question of Balance

trb@floyd.UUCP (06/02/83)

When I was about 13, I tried (exactly twice) to ride my bicycle
gripping the handlebars with my arms crossed in front of my body.  I
lost control and fell off immediately on both occasions.  I guess my
instinctive muscle movements overrode the natural stability of the
bike's design.
