Wow. I really look forward to be safe enough to ride open streets. The

Great with these tips - I didn't fully realize that this is what steers the
bike, but it sounds about right for Me too. I can ride with my hands behind
the neck or at the stomack, but only when the road is straight (or only
curved as much as a 400meters running track ;-)

I got to see that again - I think there might be some useful tips for My
motorcycle riding too :-)

Mine is ~13,5 kg :-) (should be slightly better once the carbonseat comes
on)
