Couple of night ago I had a dream, which was about unicycling (isn’t that great?) anyway, in this dream I was riding around on a unicycle with “spacers” or something between the crank and hub which I could keep my feet down. But these spacers were independent of the hub so the unicycle continued like I was coasting, but with a space for feet to fit on. I guess it could be used for people racing then used on down hill stretches…
what so you mean there is a space big enough to foot your feet between the crank and frame, and the cranks still spin. And the spacers have tubes or something on that doesn’t spin when your feet are on them. If so sounds cool, but uncomfortable for general riding.
No, not like something with catch bearings or the “inability” to pedal backwards. Just a place to put your toes so you can fly down a hill. Of course it would probably not be of any use unless on a 36’er… So you always have an advantage downhill. (lol wear ankle guards)
Think of all the Q factor though. Your wheel would wobble like mad while riding normally. And it’s not like anyone would coast down a hill as fast as they could ride a 36" because the chances of falling are too high and if you fell at that speed it wouldn’t be pretty.
