Nah. I have a cargo bike with a front carrier platform that allows/requires me to lock my front wheel when parking/loading.
If I forget to unlock my front wheel, I can go about my ways just fine: it's just unpleasant.
I also ride snowmobiles on a regular basis, and if you require any effort at steering (like at braking!), that's pretty much an error: you shouldn't need to do it! And that's even at 60km/h...
- Arelius 2y agoI responded to your other post, but I think the confusion is mostly about considering different forms of bikes, and their respective weights compared to the rider. Also, I'll be honest I haven't ridden a snowmobile in so long that I don't really have a mental model of it. I'm interested though, Do you think they are a similar experience? Don't they normally have like many more points of contact?
- PreInternet01 2y agoThe 'point of contact' on a snowmobile is mostly the track, which is like, 40x350cm (15x150"), or whatever, plus some small front skis, but, really these don't do very much. Still, the experience is exactly the same as a 'manual' bike (here's mine: https://www.gazelle.nl/puurnl https://www.gazelle.nl/puurnl). Point is: you need to really steer beyond leaning? You either hit a over-40-degree turn (not uncommon even in Amsterdam!) or you did something wrong. You need to brake? Either an idiot crossed your path, or you definitely did something wrong!
