The only modern direct drive bikes are track bikes (for velodrome
racing, and a fair amount of messangers use them). I've ridden a
friends, and its kinda natural after unicycling. the on;y downside to
your idea is that clipless pedals (ones that your foot clips in-- don't
ask) is a must, and they can be expensive and they take time to learn to
use.

I never took such pleasure in a death
A hatred born of freedom’s dying breath

\"I don't like to use the word 'US interests.' Thats why I wish some
critics, friends of ours would stop saying we go into this country, we
go into that country, we do this and we do that. I say 'shhhh shhhh.' We
dont do anything, they do it to us. We are part the victims, we are not
part of the victimizers.\"
