I sat down on one of those bike racing arcade games the other day - the ones you sit on a plastic bike and control the steering and throttle / brake with the handlebars whilst watching the big screen in front of you.
I found it impossible to ride it - it expected you to turn the bars in the direction you want to turn, and my brain wouldn't accept it, I kept pushing on the inside bar and turning the wrong way!!!
