Re: pic: summer project coming along...

The bottom joint is for adjusting the angle of the handlebar or folding it completely flat, but it should be tightened firmly while riding, unless you want it try to surf it like in the video. As for the side-to-side motion, I would have settled for a twist grip or thumb joystick, but the high school students would have none of my compromises, so lean steering it is.

Thanks for the comments! It should be balancing in some fasion next week. (Although I say that every week.)
