Pedal Strike / Pedal Scrape / Scraping when cornering

Ah, okay I see what you mean now - this isn't countersteering though. Countersteering is a short, sharp tweak off the handlebars to throw the balence off center in order to innitiate a lean.

What you're talking about is just moving over to get a better line?

By countersteering you can take a corner a wider which makes the turn less sharp which allows you to take it more upright.

Think of a bus/truck goung round a tight bend, it swings outwards first.
