Re: My "inner balance"

Is it the speed or inertia of the big wheel makes it possible to ride
with less balancing ability (or maybe you spend less time standing
still or moving slow)?

I think it's mostly ascribed to inertia. The larger wheel "keeps
rolling" more easily. Add to that a time factor: more time to make
corrections, so less dismounts. The 20" is going to be a little more
harsh, which makes for a richer learning environment.
