doubledriverw8 crazy double drivetrain bike

whoa.

i can envision in my head how to build this, but i just keep wondering what the benefit would be. apparently, it trains your pedalstroke. as the description goes, it starts to want to "skip" if you don’t keep perfectly even pressure on the pedals at all points of the revolution. (viva!) i don’t know exactly how that could be, but that’s all the information i have, so there you go.

wierdly appealing to me, this is. personally, i’d wonder if it actually gave you more power.

thoughts?
