> 3) Steer with the hips for minor corrections to line. I beg to differ. You CANNOT turn a bike by shifting your hips--not even minor corrections. Any and all corrections are done with the handlebars. You may not think you're doing it with the bars, but you are. Check out Keith Code's "NO BS bike" if you doubt me. I've seen it ridden. Body steering in any way, shape or form simply doesn't work to steer the bike. The fact is, you (or I) cannot get enough body english on a bike to turn it when it's going straight--it's inertia is simply too great--after all how much do you weigh?--the bike outweighs most of us by 300-400 lbs and it's moving--and I don't know anybody BIG enough (do you?) to change it's direction by throwing one's body around on it.
The NO BS (body steering) bike has a pair of handle bars that are frame mounted-- they don't turn anything, but you can control the throttle to keep the bike going. But you can't turn the bike, when you're riding it, by using body english, which is what you are suggesting. Regards, Henry S.
