Steering not working?
Discussion
Everyone knows that countersteering exists and whilst not necessarily understanding the principles, understands what happens when moving at speed.
Everyone also knows that at slow speeds you steer in the "correct" direction.
At some point steering has to stop and countersteering has to start. Is there a speed when neither work because they cancel each other out?

Good spot, it's at about 15mph. At this speed it's impossible to steer a bike due to the counter-acting effect. Try it (use a GPS to make sure you're at 15mph rather than an inaccurate speedo).Everyone also knows that at slow speeds you steer in the "correct" direction.

Mate, you're overthinking this!! Everyone also knows that at slow speeds you steer in the "correct" direction.

Drop your bike keys in the bin and get yourself one of them Stephen Hawkin replicas if you wanna be all "Poindexter" about it.
if you are really interested, this vid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C848R9xWrjc appears to explain things correctly (which can't be said of many of the other youtube vds)
