Default pedals

anyone else here notice their pedal bike skills improve because of learning to ride a motorcycle? after going through the city a few times, lots of lights, that sort of thing, I found I could trackstand (keep the MTB upright but not move much forward or backward, like about 1' forward or backwards) for 30seconds instead of 5. I guess if I can balance a 350lb bike a 35lb bike really isnt a problem....
