So you apply the sideways force to the saddle, which is easy.

We're still waiting for your explanation of how to do that without
an equal and opposite reaction.

You move your shoulders to the left while moving your hips to the right
(or vice versa). That is, assuming you're a human being and not a physics
textbook point mass. And, to pre-empt your next sally, yes, arm-waving
could work too.

Since I'd already said we're agreed that you can move the bike one way
while moving your body the other, that doesn't add much.

Well, seeing we agree, I'm not entirely sure what the point of the
discussion is.
