On Yer Bike!
Such a contraption would require a differential because the arm and leg movements would probably differ. This addition would involve more weight, a lot more, which would slow the machine down. A normal bicycle is the most efficient form of transport yet devised....but it is not ideal for transporting bulk solids. ■

Crazy Thought
Dear all,
When riding bicycle, hands are free. Will it be possible to have chain wheel mechanism to drive front wheel also ? Will speed increase ? Can it be balanced ? If legs are tired, we can use hands. If hands are tired, we can use legs. Even if one chain is broken or slipped out, we can still run the cycle. Crazy thought......
