Chainless bicycle

[speedog]

Stumbled upon this this evening - chainless bicycle. Kinda weird, kinda funky, kinda odd. The RTS mode would really wig people out.

It's a unicycle with a front wheel and handle bar attached to it.

2:1 planetary gear set would be a little limiting. Whats the typical ratio on a fixie?

Also the riding position looks really friggin awkward. Nobody is doing that for long.

Pretty sure we're not designed to have pedals that far back. My knees hurt just looking at that video. I'm guessing you also have awful circulation due to increased pressure on your groin as your pelvis is tucked behind you.

Agreed. Plus when you need do get up curbs or even just stand up off the seat how do you do that? Full superman style?
