[python] jurgen meets jurgen

Hi all,

Jürgen from Erlangen visited me with his python and we exchanged our pythons. 
Both are 
similar in behavior, the geometry is nearly the same, just my seat is higher 
and the bb is 
lower.

It was a great experience for me to ride side by side with the master. Jürgen 
rides so smoothly 
and calm as if he would lie in a sunchair on the beach with a drink in his 
hand. Perfect curves 
without tremble. 

His example encouraged me to continue my riding lessons. I already wanted to 
give up (here I 
remember the book "Jonathan livingston seagull")   -  And I also want to "fly" 
like Jürgen.

I remember my son's learning process of walking and how much training it needs 
to walk and 
that walking is a instable way of moving ( just stand on one leg for a longer 
time).

So I went for the second time to work with my green python, and traffic no 
longer makes me 
anxious (the handle bars comfort me in difficult situations). Now I can cut my 
racing bike to 
transform it into a python, but first my little son wants to have a python too. 
(he loves bike 
riding)

The downhill ability of the python I will test with motorcycle clothes a little 
bit later.

The TT steers very good downhill, I went with 50 km/h downhill very calm, but 
that is the only 
advantage of the TT in my eyes . I think the disadvantage of the TT is that the 
leverarm from 
pivot to front hub is shorter than the leverarm from front hub to bb. And then 
the side forces 
while pedaling are uncomfortably strong.

So I am already longing for my tomorrows exercise on my green python.

Greetings from Jürgen Maier
