[python] Birdcage Python 1118 km

Hi Pythonauts,

Yesterday I reached 1118 Km with my Python Birdcage.
Max speed I can reach downhill ist now 62.5 km/h (without pedalling) (and I'm a pro-handelbar defender) After this kilometers nothing is broken, just lost several times the scews of the front fender. I'm looking to use loctite on the screws (4 mm). 
Pedalling is now possible at speeds between 30 to 40 km/h
The chainwheel of 52/13 teeth (who I never used in the begining) are now
often used and perhaps I will change the 13 in 11 teeth.
Speeds between 40 to 50 km/h is now the critical edge to reach in pedalling mode, I hope I can reach this level during the next 400 km. 
Tripps that include city-crossings are no longer a problem.
Little breakouts happen sometimes but they are now easy to manage.
Driving with Pythons on  uphillroads with gravel  is the Hell ! You need
a lot of energy to control the bike. Bumpy roads are even dangerous .
So we look to use only perfect roads .
More I drive with it, more I forget the stressy beginnings with
a lot of stopps to provide me from falling.
Python driving is a funny thing!

Greatings

Serge
