[python] Re: Turning radius/off-road capability

Half of the diameter of the turning cycle is the
turning radius = 2.5 m

Imagine a circle of 5 m in diameter. That is the
minimum space where I can ride.

Sorry, it did not arrive to the mailinglist. Maybe it was sent during the
freelists.org blackout-period which was about one week ago.

I love to go offroad. That is why I chose thick 26" wheels.

I made experiences with Peer Gynt, flevobike, airbike, Streetmachine,
ZOX 20 low and ZOX 26 low.

What is absolutely unique to the python is the ability to support your
balance with both hands on the ground, and you never have to leave the
pedals (great with clipless ones) in difficult situations.
Of course I cannot make jumps or sharp turns, but I can ride on trails
where I would not dare to go with another recumbent.
