I want to point out no small part of why this is difficult is the handlebars themselves. By the grips being behind the axis of steering it makes the bike hugely unstable to begin with. By that I mean the bolt cap at the top of the stem, the "centreline of the forks" so to speak is the axis of steering. By having the stem stick out, and the the handlebars attached to that, the steering is stable. These handlebars put the grips inches behind that axis and even if you had normal steering the bike would be wobbly and really hard to control. Edit: At 2:45 you can see a bike with the grips inline with the axis of steering. Obviously this bike is impossible to ride because of the backwards brain thing, but you can see a lot more inherent stability with the properly placed grips. At 3:46 you can see how this bike would be a true nightmare to ride even if it steered properly. There's a complete lack of stability caused by the grip position

I do feel this: Speaking a different language is like switching your brain to a different mind-set while speaking. Me as a 2nd language speaker (English) when I stop speaking my mother language (Mandarin) for so long, I begin to forget certain words or expressions. However, if I go back to my motherland to live for 2 months, it feels like all the knowledge comes back automatically. I believe to unlearn a language or your first language might take longer compared to bike riding.

It's like learning to ride a tricycle...and then also if you stop to ride a bicycle for a while, but you are riding a tricycle, you will have the same problem...What you've to know, once you "got it", leave all, tomorrow again...all smooth. But if you continue, overload of information, and tomorrow, still real heavy time...

I think it would be interesting to see the results of practicing every day, 10 minutes on the inverted bike and then following it up with 10 minutes on a regular bike, to see if you can teach your brain to keep both neural pathways primed and choose the right one as needed.

Black PanteH5 kun oldin

just have to train your brain, enough training you'll be able to ride both bikes without a problem. Its like counting numbers backwards, or reciting the alphabet backwards, believe in your brain!

Francesco Ferrara5 kun oldin

Oven Heating5 kun oldin

Coming back to this video a few years later and i still want to see one of these made with a extra difficult feature like reversed gears. Peddling forward makes the bike go backward and peddling backwards makes it go forwards. It would completely throw things off and possibly make it uncomfortable but i just want to know if it would even be ridable at that point.

Grenz Viel5 kun oldin

My dad built a bike like this back in the 80s, except, you even had to pedal backwards. And I would love to take on the bet, cause I rode that bike just right.

I want to try this. I can ride a bicycle without touching the handle bar. It is hard but I can even get started (just need to "walk" to make some speed). So now I wanna try that on a backwards bike but I'm pretty sure it'll still feel messed up :p.

I've seen an old documentary segment showing something real similar. They didn't modify the bike, but instead used a helmet that covered the users eyes. It presented them with uh...either a mirror image, or maybe it was an upside-down image - it's been so long I can't remember precisely. And then they had to try and ride the bike! The result was very very similar to this, couldn't even get started in the beginning, but eventually they showed someone confidently riding along a weaving, undulating path. I don't know how long it took to master. Fascinating though.

So does this mean Destin can now ride both bikes, or would it take 20 minutes to figure it out every time he switched bikes?

You can make this bicycle better. Set it up so that to go forward, you need to pedal in reverse.

The missing bit is, what if he goes *back* to the inverted one? Did his brain retain this ability and just needs a few minutes of training to switch or has that been somehow "lost"?

Mr. Sandlin, I wish to tell you that you have blown me away with the manner in which you conduct you thinking. I have so much respect for those who understand _HOW_ to think, and I believe that you have it down extremely well. I don't really expect you to think much of the opinion of a totally unknown and unrepresented stranger, but you have the key to life, and that is a clear understanding and belief. Keep up the outstanding work! It makes me so happy to see God using someone of your caliber. Thank you. (also, I love how you slip a verse into every video, they always make it that much better)

Its the same general principle with someone who only rides a motorcycle and then immediately rides a bicycle.... I experienced the very same thing when I rode both one after the other.... note this is just switching from motorcycle handle bar heft with bicycle handlebar heft...

Have you let anyone who regularly rides street motorcycles try this bike? We are all used to subconsciously counter steering but takes a bit to get used to. I’m sure they still couldn’t instantly ride it but I’m just curious. Also counter steering on motorcycles would make an awesome video.

We have instincts for physical activities like biking, jumping, swinging, etc. Instincts live on a level below intellect - like machine code below the operating system on a computer. A cat, for instance, has instincts for navigating the world - without intellect or reason involved, they intuit their way around their environment. Our instincts, like the cat's, map to the flow of reality. As long as space-time flows the way it does - steady, continuous, uninterrupted - our instincts serve us. The minute something is changed, our instincts must adjust. This is clearly demonstrated in your video, where left and right were swapped and your old instincts failed you. Until you adapted new instincts for the change in your physical reality, you were lost.

stimmo77Oy oldin

Counter steering is a big part of this. You turn the opposite way to the way you go to put the bike on a lean to the direction you want to go. You’d have to counter steer less on a smaller bike as you’d be closer to the ground and need less of a lean so less of a counter steer. That could also be a major factor as to why the kid finds it easier.

It would be interesting to see what an experienced motorcyclist would do here. Anyone familiar with the concept of counter steer, which is essentially what is going on here.
