Brain and Bicycle Bias

Perhaps you learned to ride a bicycle as a child and perhaps your brain thought you were done with that particular skill.  What if one small thing was changed and the handle bar and wheel connection was reversed?  Is your brain biased?  Can it change?  What does it take to change?  Knowledge that the bicycle was changed does not equal understanding of how to ride that changed bicycle.

A clever experiment in how the brain works: Learning to Ride a Bicycle or Backwards Bicycle

Notice that the brain can learn and the effort it takes.  We can learn new habits around how we live our lives, the good news.  When there is something we want to change, what is harder to accept, is that it takes effort and time.  Because of these habitual patterns, we have built in biases, ways in which we look at and live in the world.

Sometimes we want to change those patterns.   Our brain can build new circuits changing how we act, feel and think.
