    No way. Have you ever tried to ride your bicycle backwards down a hill? No? Well I have. I didn't get very far.

    Boats steer at the back and they are stable.

              Anything broken?

              The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it.

                  A friend of mine had a bicycle with gears between the handle bars and forks. You turned left to go right and vice versa. The only way to cycle it was to sit on the handle bars, and pedalbackwards. Ones natural instinct, normally worng, worked with the steering reversed. Have to say a steering rear wheel sounds total carnage.
