Riding a 'bent (was: Anybody ever rend a cycle in Dublin, Ireland?)

The only bike I ever rented was a BikeE, because it was the only one I
ever found for rent that could be adjusted to fit my size. It was
educational, in that it taught me to avoid BikeEs and other similarly
ill-conceived bikes from that time forward.
You must relax your upper body and only use light forces to steer on a
'bent. I always have new riders hold the bars with only their thumb and
forefinger to prevent over-controlling the bike.
On a proper SWB 'bent, you just think where you want the bike to go, and
it does it.
