However smart we humans think we are, the basic structure of our brain is shared with the very first mammals that appeared 200 million years ago. Some parts are older still - and designed more for survival rather than reasoned thinking or complex tasks like riding a motorcycle.
Every time we ride our bikes we ask the various parts of our brains to manage a complex interchange of roles, as we balance instinctive reactions with learned techniques.
This book demystifies the reptilian brain, limbic system and neo-cortex, shows how they juggle the job of riding back and forth, explains why things sometimes go wrong, and in a simple, step-by-step process suggests ways we can train our brain to make better decisions as we ride.
