Yes it does.  Ride your bike w/ no hands and turn.  You'll notice at
first the bars turn the other way.

Speed has nothing to do w/ it.  How sharply or efficiently you want to
make the turn does.  Say you are road racing a bike and want to go
faster.  If you learn to counter-steer well you can cut at least a
second off your lap times (or so I've heard from expert instructors and
pro racers).

are going within a hour, do it, and if you can do a trick 50-75% of the
time do it along the way.- Bob Burnquist
