The Backwards Brain Bicycle - Not As Easy As Riding A Bike

Sometimes, we as human animals forget the amazing things that happen within our own bodies. Thousands of unconscious and minute muscle adjustments are required for us to just stand upright.

Can you imagine the millions of calculations that our brain must do in order to ride a bicycle? From balance to coordination to observation of our surroundings...there's a lot going on in our noggins.

But what would happen if you fundamentally change how a bicycle works? What if you make the way you turn and adjust the handlebars backwards. Right is left now. How would your brain process that?

Apparently, according to this experiment, not very well.

Watch this video of the strange phenomenon. If you're mechanically inclined, make one of these at home, and see how your brain can handle it.
