Either way, it's generally better to try to correct yourself than regard these things as needing mechanical correction 
Form your own view as to which approach suits you best. Although in reality you'll probably use both methods at different times, according to what you need to do. |
Have you tried the balls of the feet technique? I found that it took a few rides to get used to and I would find it difficult to ride any other way now Im used to the control it gives.
I notice that sometimes race bike riders use the instep on the opposite peg before a turn, probably to increase leaverage when counter steering very hard (apparently it is not unknown for some riders to counter steer so hard that they bend the handle bars).
