Keep practicing until it comes naturally and experiment with things like having your arms straight vs bent and pushing forward on the bars and see what you notice.

Also, what should you be doing with your body when the bike begins leaning to the right for example?

Happy learning!!
I'll do that after my class next week, thanks for the advice I'm holding off on riding my girly until then due to advice from others here. I need to anyways, I sprained my wrists and I want them to heal all the way before my class.

As for what I should be doing when the bike begins to lean to the right....lemme see if I can conjure up memories of what I've read so far lol...it's been a few days since I've had time to do some reading. Honestly, I'm not quite sure. I know my head and eyes need to be turned to where I want to go. As far as bp for a normal turn on the street, isn't that enough to get your body where it needs to be? Don't you just stay with the bike?

Help??? I've only done low speed turns so far where direct steering was used, and I just turned my head and looked where I wanted to go, didn't do anything with my body (as far as I remember anyways)
