The python IS suited for city trafic, but you have to pay more attention (as
with any other low recumbent).
-Your head is further back, so looking around corners is more difficult.
-Automobilists are not used to recumbents, so they won't see you as fast as
you are used to.
-You are lower, so you are less visible.
+pythons have great handling at low speeds.
+you can put your hands on the ground at traficlights.
