@th this works better as a two wheel paddle boat design, with one wheel for each leg, and would be completely crazy to steer
@phooky the Retro-Direct gives you a lower gear by pedaling backwards. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retro-direct
@th crazy! Is this meant to be an actual rideable bike?
@phooky yes it's ridable! there are two freewheels, so when pedaling forward the smaller gear is idling, pedaling backwards idles the main gear and the smaller gear is driven forward since the chain is crossed.
@th ahh it’s so nice to find helpful hints from your past self, and feels good to leave them for your future self ❤️
@th now imagining a bike where the pedals turn in opposite directions while you're riding
