Probably not when pedal cycling because weight shift alone is sufficient to initiate bank (and consequently turn)

At anything over very slow walking pace you are countersteering weather you are aware or not. You not move center of grave by moving you body as some of you body and bike will move the other way so no change. You make small subconscious turn in "wrong" direction to initiate lean. Your brain learns this when you learn as a child to ride a cycle.

I would say yes. Watch from 2:30 if impatient!

Thanks Jim - that was a really interesting video, especially the bit about pedal cycles

Only complaint is its use of Centrifugal Force which is actually in the opposite direction to Cornering Force. Akin to saying Gravity works upwards which would mean we were all about to go into orbit
