I have great difficulty doing any off-road riding or downhill riding (not to mention uphill, which is for reasons other than bike handling), and my reactions are pretty slow. I obviously compensate for that somehow, but not in all situations, and it still means that I perceive my bike handling as a weakness. Most people I meet with any experience of cycling are better bike handlers than I am. Obviously, my bike handling is fine for the kind of riding I do, but I feel that it limits me from certain kinds of riding. I don't mind that much, by the way.
