looks fun but not so comfortable

[homba]

Actually, once you learn to ride, it's much more comfortable than an upright. A little seat padding helps, too.

its looks to me that if you put a neck/head support on that bike it will have a lot less strain on ur body; and also some handles on the center bottom of the bike for better control. Just a thought.

A head support would be helpful, but handlebars just don't work well on this style of bike. You have to steer with your body and feet. You'll flop over relying on handlebars - it just takes some practice.

@preput it is very comfortable.

Add Underseat handlebars (not for steering just to holding on) and put outrigger small wheels on them so if you go over it only goes over so far. Just a thought. Interesting concept.

Me, too ... not usually work gloves, but I almost always wear bike gloves. Road rash on your hands hurts!

Love the bike and you've got some good python riding skills there.

Put some skate rollers on those gloves, problem solved!

I do use gloves on any bike:)ALL TIME I RIDE.

If I crash-down, gloves safe my fingers,and I still be able to type on keyborad:))
