Low recumbent bike , has 30 speeds
Each wheel has a chain going fwd to a foot lever , its
naturally in low gear , this gear is low enuf to pull a Mack truck
cause of the chains short distance to footpedals
pivot , as you push , you can release pins , that catch the
chain and move it away from pivot , for high speed ,
this mechanism has no limits , you can get any reduction
you need , start with cheap 16 tooth freewheels and
make your own foot levers , use hvy springs to return
the foot levers , you cud also create a cross over , continous
chain,cable system , w/o springs , if you pushed R pedal ,
you'd feel L pedal pushing you ,
small 20 inch wheel in back for steering ,
cutting brakes can aide high speed steering ..
you cud push a prefered pedal in turns , and a 2nd set
of pedals cud camber the wheels , for really high speed .
At 50mph , it shud feel secure , and stable ,
of course i use 6007 ball bearings in the wheels !
dont try to use common parts ,
