Hello Listies,
like every year around the Midsummers Day I would like to make a
longer tour with my P3. This year I am planning to go to Eupen,
Belgium to visit some fellow listies and pythonauts. The route can
be found here:
Siwmae pawb (Hiya all),
Goddammit, it seems I'm going to be too tied down to make the Summer
European pythonaut shindigs again this year. I despair! When do I get
to ride with you guys?
Now, a question for anyone who might have the experience:
Looking at the SUV python work trike pictures that I have in my
archive, it's clear a) that it IS a python (centre-steer, neg.
trail); b) that the rider sits on the front end, in front of the
articulation joint; that s/he has a pair of handle-bars on the rear
end, against which to brace when balancing the front end by body
movement.
This looks to me like the nearest thing I've seen to my longtime idea
of a centre steer recumbent bike/trike as essentially a unicycle
hauling a trailer, with the rider sitting on the trailer (usually).
The only other bike that I know of with the rider (apparently) seated
in front of the articulation is the Kalle.
So, the question is: has anyone any experience of riding recumbents
set up like this? Is it unusually difficult, or dicey at high speed?
Any comment welcome.
In case I don't make the Midsommar, I'll aim again at the Autumn event.
Cofion, Rhisiart.
