>>1752244>You don't need to countersteer a bicycleI'll join the chorus and say that you're simply mistaken. It's true that most of the time we ride bikes we don't need to deliberately countersteer since 'just lean' accomplishes the same thing tolerably well - but if you're going to ride at speed down a mountain road with hairpin curves, or ride downhill in a group with other riders, you absolutely do need to countersteer deliberately in order to start steering a specific line and make course corrections once you're already leaned over in the turn.
>>1752266You already got this one - if you're riding a mountain bike or a bmx bike aggressively you want to be able to position your hands anywhere along the grip at any angle and find a consistent shape and profile, so that's why round grips are used. Ergo grips are for bikes with flat bars where you'll keep the same posture and hand positioning most of the time.
