As part of the driving test you are required to be able to back a
vehicle up. Particularly as part of a Class B license exam. And it is
quite easy to do since you look into mirrors and hence everything is
shown in reverse.

It is a skill that a lot of people forget very quickly. Try looking after
the loading/unloading bay of a live steamers meet where it is vey common
to carry their loco in a trailer. Trailer aside, It is the same with any
"facility' that requires people to reverse in.

I cannot see how you couldn't ride a rear steering bike as easily as a
front steering bike remembering that you do not turn the wheel much and
that would be a handicap since you couldn't determine how much you were
turning the rear wheel by sight.

Re-reasd the article you posted where he talks about how to front steer
and then think how many people can safely adapt their skills to rear
steer.
