Bicycle is king of the road as gas costs rise

Or maybe it's a way to get that *huge* gear at the back without each rider
needing to pedal such a monster.

I think each rider does actually pedal that huge gear. Or at least their
1/10th share of it. The pedaling cadence would be as set by the final gear
ratio though for all of them.

Ah, touche!

My intention was to say "without each rider having that 65t monster between
his legs." There'd be a lot of extra weight (chain, steel chainring) if each
rider had such a big cog, not to mention chainline restrictions. God knows
why anyone would see value in such a ponderous beast as this one!

It is possible that the bike was made as a publicity stunt, based on an
anagram / misspelling / play on the maker's name.

In which case it would require ten riders.

Impressive but cans someone enlighten me on why the ramped cog sizes?
I just cannot get my heaed around the drive train configuration.

It's obviously the original ten speed racer. If travelling up steep
hills then the front guy pedals, on downhills the stoker does the work.
In between you have a range of options, some of which involve switching
a smaller rider from the fifth seat with the larger rider on the
seventh.
