This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Just wait till OP learns that you need to counter-steer bikes to balance

That's always fun. Some people will swear it can't possibly work like that, but they have plenty of experience riding bikes. You wouldn't be able to turn properly at speed unless you're counter-steering, so they clearly have done this. The idea seems to be so incredibly intuitive that people don't even realize they're doing it, which is very interesting.
