Body steering, you told me about a few months ago and I have been practicing it, I can now lay the bike over with hardly any effort and adjust line mid turn using my feet, so that is great.

The second link is going to take a bit longer, think a late night session with a big cup of coffee is in order.

Seems to me this would make a good sticky thread.

body steering ability is the second thing i look for when i have ridden a bike, the first being its "tippability" (patent pending on that description! :D )

i much prefer a bike that will allow a good use of force on the pegs to assist in cornering, when you get used to using the pegs you get used to not relying on the fact that the bars are there to just guide you along, i tend to rely more on body steering when i am commuting than anything else purely because the feet are enough to weave through traffic for the most part and it takes pressure off the arms too (realistically there shouldnt be any pressure at all on the hands as in truth you get used to using the palms of the hands to actually control the bars anyway).

Good links them though and explain pretty much everything in bite size chunks :)
