A friend of mine shared an interesting video with me. It was about a man who created and built a backward bicycle. When the rider turned the handlebars to the right, the front wheel went to the left and vice versa. The inventor’s goal was to see if people could ride this bicycle and adjust to the change simply by knowing how it worked. He mounted the bike and discovered he could not ride it. As he lectured across the US, he challenged people to try to ride this bike offering a $200 reward to anyone who could. Many were sure they could do this, but failed miserably. After eight months the creator finally conquered the skill and oddly enough, his six year old son acquired the same skill after only two weeks! Later this man hopped on a regular bicycle and discovered that he was unable to ride. He had to re-learn how to ride the normal bike. These things touch a lot on how the neuro pathways in the brain work. I am not a neurologist so I cannot comment on this. However what I can deduce is that knowing something does not necessarily mean understanding, hence the need for practice and drill of the things that we know are good and proper.
