Hej do,
I have finally brought my python home from the workshop in Ganløse to make some 
first expirience. Today I circled 3 hours in the park. my son enjoyed seeing father 
like 3 years old. He want's a python too. :-) And he insisted it should be a python 
:-)). not just recumbant.
Maybe he is right.
My first try, really just a few 100 meters, was without handle bar. ...and brakes. Now I attached one handlebar to mount back brake and the gear shifter. And now, with the new situation,whenever I touched the hadlebar, I tiped over. :-I But then after 3 hour in the park, I have learned to USE the handlebar. It is attached to the seat. So I can actually use it to support - with my hands - the body steering. 
Or you say: I learned body steering because of the handlebar. But I don't think 
so.
I know I sound rediculous trying to discuss with you guys. You have really 
experience. And I know that is needed :-). But without using the handlebar, I 
cannot role the bike without padelling.  I have tried both!!
So I think: handlebars are good. And I could imagine, that the same applies at 
high speed.
I have no idea though, how it would feel, when the handlebars would be attached to the front part. It would certainly not support in the same way!? I definetly need a propper seat. I have quickly constructed something from an old camping chair supported by a fork. I expect the 'propper' seat will give me more steering control. .......Maybe then, I don't feel the benefit of the handlebars an longer. :-( 

Most important: It was great fun.
It's improving. I can still dream about it - because I am far from perfect on 
the bike-, but I can already imagine what it will be like. :-)

Thanks for sharing the python idea!!
Thomas
