Comment on Where did the false "equal transit-time" explanation of lift originate from?parent

The force is proportional to speed, you can countersteer a bicycle just the same as a motorcycle. There are 2 separate steering techniques, one for high speed (countersteering) and one for low speed (steering) on motorcycles and bicycles - that results from gyroscopic wheel force. The geometry doesn't change, only thing that changes as speed increases on the bike is the gyro force.
