> Just the fact that your hands are on the handle bar, and that when you lean a little you will also naturally put pressure on the side of your lean, pushing away the handlebar in the direction you're leaning on, which initiate the process of countersteering. It's what people naturally do on 2 wheeled vehicles whether they were taught to or not.

When you put it that way, it does make more sense. That is, if you don't countersteer, then you'll end up falling because the the vehicle will lean too much. With a bicycle, though, you may not really feel that you're pushing back on the handlebar because of the difference in weight compared to a motorcycle.

> You should be able to make a turn as fast as mechanically possible without falling and at least be conscious that one should keep a steady speed, neither braking nor accelerating,

I actually already do this while riding and driving given what I've read about the concept of the "friction circle" which states that turning while accelerating or braking requires more traction compared to just turning. So for the most part, I will brake and slow down to my desired speed and then coast through the turn.

As for accelerating in a turn, it's a bit more problematic due to the possibility of the pedal hitting the road surface during the lean if it's at the 6 o'clock position. That's why I make sure I keep the pedals in the 9 and 3 o'clock positions when turning.
