This is not countersteering, it's course correction. I'm either regulating the extent of the lean, or I am actually actively ending it, not doing anything to extend it.
That may be the way it feels to you on a bicycle, but get on a motorcycle and you'll quickly figure out that constant steering input is needed to keep turning. The only thing that varies is the amount of pressure applied. To quit turning, just quit pushing.
