Leaning

cardigan you got it - i'm liking the relying on the weight bit - definitely a part of it.

i was trying to look up leaning techniques - but only found road cycling cornering /braking/pedalling videos..

Digs=singspeed=help!=tynan?

Leaning

any guides or techniques to this?

Don't lean so much that you fall over.

ok not guides or techniques - thats just gonna get me inundated with silly posts, unlike my one...

what i mean is, anyone got any other special [leaning] moves ? or is it JUST me?

So there's a green dude who leans while descending?

He must be the Lean Green Machine.

Always worth a repost.

yeh u see how the dude who wasnt green always kept inline with his bike - yeah that aint me...

that just reminds me of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXxLbLvCRrk

I dunno...

HyCCT?

secrets of the pros - the top tube of many of the pros bikes have a newtons cradle fitted internally which compensates for any over-excessive leaning during descents

haha!

digs, i know what you're talking about. but surely it's best to avoid as much as possible situations where you have to pull off 'special moves' on the road, when you're just going about your business in normal traffic conditions!

Since when has Sheen been on this forum?

I hear EdScoble likes to get his lean* on...

*Not in extreme conditions.

Its all in the diet...

i think counter-turning comes in to this too right? to create the quick snap ... i do this mostly when im avoiding potholes that i couldve seen earleir if i wasnt being so absent minded..

You basically mean riding.

A good racing bike, you steer with your backside and you think it round corners. You don't have to physically steer it, it just goes.

Leaning is what you do when it's icy to see what happens.

It's just steering with your hips.

Wow, the Swiss dude's like riding his bike 'n' shit.

Leaning, you say? (Note that the front wheel is slightly countersteered - that plus a lot of weight transfer is what does it).

Sorry. I have delayed sunstroke and it's very early.

I am definitely more a tomorrow person than a morning person.

that just reminds me of YouTube - Lips 2 Da Floor

Having seen that.... your posts make sense now

As Steff has so rightly pointed out, watch the Moto GP and see what motorbike racers do. There are 2 basic techniques - countersteering, as shown in Steff's picture, which is a way of leaning a bike very quickly, and weight transfer where the rider leans themselves over, arse right off the saddle hanging on by one leg, in order to corner faster whilst leaving the bike more upright.

A+ Thread. Would read again.

I have another question relating to the Cancellara video. At ~5.30 what the hell is he doing with his legs?
