Hi Ray,
This is one of the replies that didn't get to my mailbox.
Thanks for pointing this behavior out. I hadn't thought that far beyond the
look, but now with better seat grip and some riding experience, I can say that
the arms have so many functions, and across a large range of motion, from
ground
operations, mid-air balancing, gadget operations, and head support / resting.
A python handlebar would have to follow the arm motion, plus conventional
functions like steering, mounting rear mirror, brake levers, gear changer,
light, horn, and gadgets. Now imagine to be a person without arms (Yepp
trike),
bionic arms would be need to ride a python, with all of the goodies on board...

it is absolutely unridable; the arm and hip forces are exactly opposite.
In retrospect, I thought that a linked bar (opposite steerer) might therefore
be
useable, but changing the pivot angle to 65 made all the difference.
