[python] Re: Gregs March 17 update

Too cool.  That guy is always trying something new LOL.  In a few emails we
shot back and forth, I suggested he try something like the Python and
pointed him to your site.  He was concerned about pedal steer, but I told
him that form rider comments, that wasn't a problem.  It's cool that he is
building one, but sort of typical that he's changing it.

With the front wheel steer, mono-fork, I'm wondering if he doesn't need to
tilt the pivot axis in towards the line that the front wheel is following.
I can't see how he can avoid brake and bump steer without it.  On normal
mono-blade forks, the head tube pivot axis is still located in the same
position as a normal two blade fork, so there's no problem.

As for the dual front/rear steer . . . that's just crazy  :)  If he makes
underseat steering for it, leaves the steering in the "low speed"
configuration, and sets up his steering so the handlebar to turn ratio is
2:1, it might work.  Maybe . . .  :)
