Could ride no handed

Very impressive! I thought that was a no-no with all linkage-steered cargo bikes?

It's definitely more difficult than on a standard bike but I think that's to do with length rather than the steering linkage.

Well, I guess it could be the weight of the linkage and second steerer tube plus the added friction from the whole system.

It's not that I want to be doing it all the time, more just that I'm glad this one will do it, the last one (in both cycletruck and linkage steering mode) would just start shimmying all over the place soon as I took my hands off the bars.

Yeah, I always assumed it was to do with friction in the steering, but I guess with the right geo it should be possible. I never had shimmy on my bakfiets, but no-hands was a no-no.
