@user-zu1ix3yq2w Out here in Switzerland, the most bike deaths, which are steadily increasing, are among older people using E-Bikes.

I don't understand why you're explaining something that people do intuitively. 🤷

@user-zu1ix3yq2w But you don't need to understand how it works in order to use a bike correctly for normal riding. ( but other skills are needed for mountain biking/downhill or climbs in the Alps). That would be like forcing people to understand the construction of an integrated circuit before using a computer.

@user-zu1ix3yq2w If a person starts riding in childhood and rides regularly, it will be intuitive. I believe all this instruction on counter steering, etc. is for people who have some kind of balance issues or started learning in adulthood. And even if you explain and show a person this video, they still have to DO it. I got my son a "Laufrad" (bike without pedals) when he was 2 years old and he started riding it instantly.

@user-zu1ix3yq2w Experience tells me that most people never ride a bike at high speeds. When I'm on my road bike, I'm generally passing the people on e-bikes. 😄 Most people are merely cruising along at low speeds. And even if they fall turning at a high speed, they will have learned what not to do and make adjustments for the next time.
