Mine helps a lot. On other pythons it isn't nescessary (Dirks Bonnes with. 20inch wheels ride fine without handlebars compared to mine). Read my "python blog".

The python is very far from a "normal" recumbent. My first ride on recumbent was 20km's plus - three years later the first Python ride was ~10cm. I ride unicycle and have no balance problems - apart from last saturday night, but thats another story :-) http://www.scheel.net/HPV/Python/default.asp [http://www.scheel.net/HPV/Python/default.asp] I'm not trying to scare you off, learning the python is very rewarding, just consider it as the second start, just like your first two wheeler.
