Just like riding a bike...

Practice allows a task to be muscle learned. "Muscle learned" is a description of how the subconscious directs traffic without the conscience having to think out the moves ahead of time. The conscience is not very good at directing traffic. Interesting vid on how all of that takes place in the white world.

Ie: You turn the bars 15 degrees and the wheel only turns 10 degrees. Keep upping the ratio a little at a time and ride until you're used to it then go back to a normal bike. -- Drew

The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." -- Isaac Asimov

Most can navigate after minutes to hours.. maybe same sort of 'click' happens And similar recode to revert. But bike conflates so may sensors.. I'm sure there's much to be divined by seeing some brain scans during the confusion.. but how to do that in real-time..? Neat puzzle; 8 mos. -vs- a couple weeks for a tyke, tells us more than we want to know about d e t e r i o r a t i o n {{sigh}} (I recall trying to master the reverse-arms trick: LH on throttle, RH on clutch.) Nope, too many strange control actions to simultaneously re-do; just the earliest motion said: Don't Be an Idiot; muscle-mem will Keel You. (aka Do this in a rubber room.)
