[python] Steering Angle

Now that Peter and I have two pythons to compare,
we exchanged our bikes and made some discoveries
concerning the steering angle.

Mine has exactly 67 degrees and Peter´s approx.
75 degrees (by guessing).

Peter tried my bike and it was easier for him to
ride. I tried his bike and could ride it, but I felt
it was more agile than mine and I had problems
with sharp turns.

The latter effect might possibly disappear with
practice, but so far I would recommend to make
the steering angle not too steep.

On the other hand do not make the angle too flat
because the wheel flop will become too strong.

As a conclusion I would recommend a steering
angle between 65 and 70 degrees.


Jürgen.
