I just did some "research" on countersteering. I guess all along I did use it on the bicycle. Just perhaps not as pronounced as on the motorcycle. When it warms up and dries up around here, I may have to pull the bike off the ceiling mount and investigate further.
Quoted from wiki.. At low speeds countersteering is equally necessary, but the countersteering is then so subtle that it is hidden by the continuous corrections that are made in balancing the bike, often falling below a just noticeable difference or threshold of perception of the rider. Countersteering at low speed may be further concealed by the ensuing much larger steering angle possible in the direction of the turn.
I love physics!
Anyway...I still liked what I learned from my MSF class. Not to mention, only having to take the written portion of the test at the DMV.
