I definitely feel better doing that, even at my speeds. On the moderate hills 
I've tried, I prefer coasting (finer control) and always dragging the brake. (I 
still only have the rear)

That said, I still want to increase the pivot ~68deg and shorten the wheelbase 
15cm to 116. My turn radius is about 10m. It also needs the seat pushed back an 
inch.
