Brain Algorithms and a Cool Experiment With a Bike

The experimenter in this video shows you about decision making hardwiring in the mind by reversing the way a bicycle handle turns.  He shows you what happens when you try to ride such a bike.  Here is a comment about the video:

Because bicycles are steered mostly by leaning and then stopping the turn by turning the front wheel the OPPOSITE direction, it doesn’t work the way we think it does.  Try this on someone new to the bike (or try it on a regular bike).  Attach flexible cords to the two handles and try steering by holding only the cords. A regular person will crash on the standard bike (already done it) and my theory is that he  may be able to ride the backward steering bike.

Let’s see what happens when he tries the new opposite handle bike on stage in the video on page 2
