I have ridden my bicycle on the street, at high speed (>40 SB on Glen Jackson/205 bridge) and done mountain biking. I believe that it helped me with balance and low speed maneuvers.
Oddly enough, I think that learning motorcycles has helped me on my mountain bike. I was riding it around over the weekend while I was out camping and I tried some counter-steering. Worked great, but it freaked me out a little, a 30-pound bike falls into a lean a lot faster than a 400-pound motorcycle…..
