"Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. When change is absolute there remains no being to improve and no direction is set for possible improvement: and
when experience is not retained, as among savages, infancy is perpetual. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." - George Santayana -
"Those that fail to learn from history, are doomed to repeat it" - Winston Churchill -
Treadle bicycle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There's a reason why linear drive is not common among bicycles even though it's been around for over 100 years. Naming it after yourself and asking us to build it is the height of hubris. If you think it's such a great idea, build it yourself and report back. I want to see a video of you riding it. Be sure to get close-ups of the skinned elbows and hips.
