==The Wright Brothers== [[Wilbur Wright]] explained countersteering this way: {{Quote| I have asked dozens of bicycle riders how they turn to the left. I have never found a single person who stated all the facts correctly when first asked. They almost invariably said that to turn to the left, they turned the handlebar to the left and as a result made a turn to the left. But on further questioning them, some would agree that they first turned the handlebar a little to the right, and then as the machine inclined to the left, they turned the handlebar to the left and as a result made the circle, inclining inward.<ref>{{cite book | last = Crouch | first = Tom D. | title = The Bishop's Boys | year = 1989 | publisher = W.
