I associate tiller effect with wheel flop. Not sure if if that is correct.
But I've only ever experienced negative effects of high swept back bars on

I call it the wheelbarrow effect myself, as that most aptly describes the
sensation in a relatable way. Try pushing a wheelbarrow up a steep

Thanks to all of you for the responses, and Shoji and Garth for the
additional information.
Yes, the wheelbarrow effect. That's a great descriptive image. I have
definitely experienced it with an actual wheelbarrow (super annoying and
funny) and on a bike!
But I've never experienced the wheel
On recumbents it's the weird sensation of steering a bicycle with zero
weight on the front end; we're used to our weight slowing the steering
down, on a 'bent you have to slow it down yourself by very lightly resting
hands on the bar or it will wiggle all over the dang place. To a lesser
