Hi Listees!,
One thing I noticed right from the start, when Dennis first sent me
pics. of his Mark 2 FWDRWS is that the axis of of the steering joint
passes through the rider's upper back and shoulder-line. That's very
clear from the first of these pics of Dennis on the bike, on a
rolling-road block.
The second video of Dennis riding the Mark 2, which he put up on his
website some time back, has one sequence shot from ahead of the bike,
where you can see the very sweet sideways-and-upwards movement of
seat and rider as he banks and turns, and then the whole bike
pulling itself very easily into it's straight-ahead alignment again,
as Dennis lets it self-centre.
More by luck than clever planning, I think, I seem to have a similar
marked self-centring effect built in to my Python (currently trike,
soon-to-be bike-with-swing-up-outriggers; pics ASAP). That, and the
ultra-easy ride coming from the Mages patent DIY
super-cheap-but-effective rear suspension, make for a really
gratifying ride, with a strongly positive sense of ease and stability.
Cheers, RhG
