When I rode your monty in Malmö (a swedish Town), I worried about it
that you cannot just break at any time, you need to wait until the
pedals revolved into the "right place" (vertically), before you can
reasonably give braking power. That takes away the possibility for fast
reactions. That is also a "little" disadvantages :-P
