I'd agree that most recumbents have poor steering that is impractical to
ride no-handed--but then again--with no hand pressure to cause hand
numbness, there's not a lot of reason to ride no-handed either.

Cruzbike works with no hands. Even take off.

The last one shows turning in circles with no hands.

But as all bike designs, cruzbike makes some other tradeoffs
to their design. Just like BikeE did. You cant get everything.
