Your bike could use some streamers coming from the grips!
Funny you should mention that. If I had leather or inner tube material made like a so-called 'Chinese finger puzzle' left with streamers on the end, I could lean back in the saddle and use them like reins on a horse. I haven't figured out the fabrication.

With the coiled, keyed lock on the handlebar, if I find a horizontal pipe to park against I can have it locked about as fast as I can get off. I lay it over at 45°, throw my leg over and lever myself up into the saddle.
