What I do feel is that from a certain (really high) speed the
*qualitative* feeling of the bike changes. On my bike it is at least
above 52kmh, dunno exactly where it happens.
52 km/h regardless of how steep the descent is?
My question is why would a bike be different at high speed than at low
speed?
Not many factors differs beside air resistance.
I can really not believe that the answer is "pivot angle". If you
are willing to drop the notion of gyroscopic torque, what is there
left
to actually give you physically the feedback of that something is
qualitatively different?
Someone must sacrifise his child, letting it not come near any
ordinary bicycles during adolescence. Already at three the little one
would ride his three wheeled pyhon dreaming of the day when he (or she
for that matter) is allowed do ride a real two wheeled python like his
father. Then, when this kid is 16 or something we can compare.
Who is volunteering?

It would be interesting to know how the mechanical trail has an
influence. Hmm, making the pivot angle more horizontal will make any
gyroscopic torque more vertical, creating less influence on the side
pull...
