Oh yeah I think DF's will always be better In some area's like a crowded city or on any off road trail that is more rustic than a smooth path.
In the city the CLWB bent would do fine IF the front wheel was out front, bottom bracket lower than the seat.
Like the EZ-1 that I often rode in these conditions. It did fine.
A SWB with the feet and crank sticking out over and above the front wheel, with all the pedestrians,,not so good IMO.
Clipping in,,,LOL yeah tell me that works, go on
A LWB on city streets n sidewalks and people all about,,not fair to the pedestrians unless the rider is extra considerate.
A Long Bike,,,,is,,,,a,,,,long bike. I also ride my 67 inch wheel base Tour Easy into tight places, It takes
a bit more patience when In close proximity with pedestrians.
