Hi all, first i present myself: my name is Florent Balestrieri, I'm a 25 years old french guy, actually living in Paris. I've got a very serious relationship with my bike :))) which until now was upright. I'm NOW considering to make a recumbant bike to ease my ass a little for the journeys to come... :) This decision was made after a long Internet session focused on recumbents, wich ended on Jurgen's website. (by the way, thank you VERY much for your dedication to this project and your spirit of sharing and trying to improve your ideas. And ALSO: i'm very impressed by your french version of the site very helpful especially for the technical terminology. You really mastered our language, i'm in awe). Then followed a period of reading the mailing-list to understand if the bike was really the one for me. The main unsolved problem remains that damned speed limitation!!! i'm a speed addict, riding mainly in the Alpes mountains where i can enjoy the climbing uphills and flying downhills at mad speeds. If I recall well, max-speed is around 65 kmph. And people reaching that speed confessed that their control on the bike felt too light or odd or something. My question is: has anybody ever thought of putting a lock on the pivot before going downhill? Turning at high speed is done by leaning anyway. -- Florent ============================================================ This is the Python Mailinglist //www.freelists.org/list/python Listmaster: Jürgen Mages jmages@xxxxxxTo unsubscribe send an empty mail to python-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
