Re: st-digest V2000 #2



Body english, meaning a slight adjustment in riding position, in this case to the left or to the right.  Sliding over to one side slightly will cause the bike to be leaning while in a straight line.  It could be considered "hanging off" if riding in hurricane winds.  Use this Force to cancel leaning corrections needed while riding in a crosswind, otherwise a constant push is required on the handlebar, and the bike will have to stay leaned over to track straight....like a sailboat, position the crew on the weather rail (windy side) for a more level ride.  A disadvantage to this, especially with the "tall screen" is that you are subjected to more buffeting.  Those with panniers can load their panniers heavy on one side in anticipation of a long ride with a relatively constant crosswind.

Dave,

I've never heard the term 'body english', could you please explain...
