Very cool bikes I need one like that so I can lay down and peddle. I see you steer the trike with a brake is that right?

My first lay down long wheel base had over seat steering and took about 4 hours to learn to ride comfortably as the method of balancing is just that much harder being so close to the ground.
This one with underseat steering took about 3 mins because I already had served an apprenticeship on the previous bike.
Most people cannot ride this one straight away so be prepared for a bit of practice. Falling off though doesnt hurt, its not very far.
I used cables to steer this and they produce a very precise feel but took some experimenting to set up.
The handlebar pivots under the seat with the cables being attached to small pulleys there and at the front forks.
more info in next post.
