In order to balance and stay upright we actually weave, which means that while the back wheel leave a fairly straight rut, the front wheel weaves side to side of that rut. Not easy to actually do, but you will be able to prove the concept of 'counter-steering' as you start a turn and the front wheel starts the turn by going in the opposite direction! :-) NB: a three-wheeled machine leaves three ruts in a straight line but has no need to weave... @Troiker – YES! :-)

However, on a bike you will never slip with 80mph, heading for a tree... No, I think it is more save to ride than drive. That’s why I use spiked tires from october to easter.

It takes much slicker conditions for a four wheeled vehicle to fall over, than for a two wheeled vehicle. I’ll admit that there is a greater danger BIking than there is in a car.
