a Long Beach, CA, bike dealers' show in the early

ergonomically, but feeling like a bucket of bolts

I am up to about 4 of them in all configurations and conditions. I have an
original Glide-a-cycle 'tredle-pedal' bike and they have been around since the
Star pre 1890.
Didn't work then, don'
t work now. poor idea, even though my alenax bikes are all tighter than a
bucket of bolts.
execution not too bad, just a ppor idea.
