  1. Still two month to go before riding a Uni... so I was making
    sketches about my dream Uni part of this crazy design was
    about a handle... may be this design is a bit unrealistic
    ... so I tried to draft the same handle design for a Coker
    here it is.

    this (big) handle is built on an axle in front of the wheel
    may be one could imagine a way to block the handle when one
    does not want it to rotate aroud it's axle...

    why this? it is supposed to help climb steep decline while
    standing on the pedals and having the saddle slightly tilted
    backwards. moreover it is supposed to help when dealing with
    handling twists with the big inertia of the wheel...

    well just supposed...

    your feedback?

    a Frame original)

  2. It's very large. I wouldn't want that between my legs if I
    were to crash.

    sure that's why when you lose your grip on the handle the
    handle is free to rotate..... (and bounce back... and hurt
    you 😉) bear
