But why can't the inability to make a sharp turn be explained by the need to arrest forward momentum? The momentum has to change direction. Turning 90 degrees causes sudden loss in velocity. Turning against the arc of the turn i.e. along the orbit of the turn transfers the forward momentum into angular momentum. Thus, a counterturn is just an efficient way for the bike to follow the arc. Higher the velocity, the larger the arc required. |
