The only bike I ever rented was a BikeE, because it was the only one I

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.
Thanks, Obi-Wan. I'll have to try harder to stretch out with my
feelings.
Too impatient, you are.
