[python] Jukka2

Hello Jukka,

thanks for the small lessions in finnish language ;-)

Average speed on that 500km is abaout 22km/h. Commute
speed 26-28km/h, whitout stops and gravel roads.


That is already pretty fast.

Python plus and negs(compare to other my recumbents):
+simple
+Fast
+Rideable without hands
-Water on road wet clothes


A full front fender works wonders. A covering of the rear
half of the front wheel should be sufficient.

-Difficult to learn
-Impossible on snow or ice or soft surface
-Potholes are problem
-Impossible pedal on tight corners


This was better with your first python as I remember.

-Impossible look behind when driving


I use to wear a small mirrow on a necklace which
allows me to look behind me in all directions. Also
good for removing flies from the eyes.

I just can't pedal and steer same time when turning tight.
Propably because my pythons haven't handlebars.


I am controlling tight turns by pedalling and accelerating.
The mentioned "tire rub" (grwilliams) does not happen.

Yellow one has also steering pivot (or seat) wrong place and
bottom bracket is too low, pedals hits the ground.

The BB is very low indeed. I prefer the BB being 20 cm
higher than the seat. This also increases the pedalling
efficiency.

Jukka, why do you think, the pivot is at the wrong place?

Cheers, Jürgen.
