Our Douze has cable steering so has super tight turning circle (well as tight as a cargo bike turns!) in both directions whereas steering linkages are generally restricted with the tyre hitting the arm.
Useful for filtering in traffic but also just moving bike around to park up/getting through doorways etc.
The cables offer resistance that kinda feels like a tight headset (but smooth!) when on the stand, but it’s not really noticeable when riding, I think this helps with the neutral handling of the bike.
So far it’s been pretty reliable. On its third winter without any issues...

Ooh very fancy ^.
what are the pros and cons of having cable steering?
