Blair P. seems to know what I'm talking about, thanks, Blair, that was really interesting info. I figured someone must have already tried such things, just didn't know. So, if someone using my idea went 150mph, but the problem is he'll get blown over, but what about using the increased power efficiency to haul things, or power a 4 wheeled small car more easily? The guy who went 150mph did *not* use your 'idea'. He used a compound drivetrain (if that's how you'd describe it). Standard pedals and crank connected to a large chainwheel to a small cog behind the seat, connected to another large chainwheel, to a small cog on the wheel. Basically, a *huge* gear. For some reason the number 134 gear inches is stuck in my head, but that could be way off. As I recall, he had to be towed up to 60mph, because the gear was to big to be turned from a standing start.
