Counter steering is my conclusion as to why kids fall off push bikes when starting out. They assume they've got to turn the bars in the direction they want to go, and it takes a while for the mind to work out otherwise.

We obviously counter steer all the time, but a lot of us don't realise it. Your suggestion is a good way to demonstrate what's happening, but can you explain the physics behind it??
