I totally agree as well! :) Part of the challenge is not only learning to
ride, but developing the fine motor control and reflexes so I didn't need
any kind of steering buffers. Marcel always wanted to put one on his, but
in the end, he never ever put one on because I guess he didn't need it bad
enough either.
On another note, I think you should be very proud, or at least very happy
that such a unique and extreme design, that is as difficult to learn as it
is, has caught on so well in so many different places, and with such
interesting variations. I still think it's one of the coolest bikes I've
ever been lucky enough to learn to ride.
