    is this one of those bikes where you pedal really really fast and it barely moves or one of those bikes that could hypothetically reach 125mph through gearing alone but when you jump up and down on the pedals they won’t budge

        This has got to be an art piece, right?

        There doesn’t seem to be a way in the world the chain does that without being affixed to the upper cog wheels, rendering the thing useless

          it’s on a small cog fixed to a solid axle to spin the gears on the other side. there’s a through-axle every time it switches sides to a new crankset, each crankset is only driving a small loop of chain.

          some background. It is an art piece but not in the way you’re thinking

    we can pump that gear ratio up. a bike that travels a googol times faster than the speed of light given the rider can provide the torque. sicko-biker

    it would be a good bit for tourists if you had one of these you could ride where the rear wheel was like a stone block embedded in the ground or something
