I finally put the handlebar on.
It took me a good 15mins to ride off with it. It was like the first time I road the 36″. The added weight of the handle just throws me off. In the picture, the handle is extended out a lot. I decided to move it back in as much as possible, and get used to a handle being there first. It is strange. This isn’t like a bicycle where you can put as much or as little weight as you like on the bars. Whatever weight put on it, will affect your balance.
Yesterday, I went for a short 8km ride around the neighborhood. Going down slopes, and braking by resisting the pedal motion is a tough thing to do. Sometimes I almost get thrown off the front, because the momentum of the wheel is so great that I get lifted off the seat. After the ride, I Iced my right ankle. I don’t if it’s the reduced distance, or the icing, but my ankle isn’t sore today. This is good!
