6x18 is the first bike slower than this: https://www.bikeforest.com/tread/index.php
But 61x8 that's totally doable....I am running it right now, having more than one cog tooth in contact with the chain at a time is for *******.

getting offtopic, i am sure this link has been covered somewhere in the forums but...
the treadmill bike is so harmless. did you watch the videos? it is like only marginally faster than a normal treadmill.
Plus those guys are primarily sellers of CAD software for designing custom frames...the bike is a gimmick that happened to work for getting their site traffic...I don't think they really plan to make it rich off of selling $2,500 treadmill bicycles.

Yeah...but recumbents and hand cycles are jokes too right? Or at least I'm laughing when I see one on the lakefront trail on a sunny day (because they are never on the STREET or out during anything less than a sunny day).
I have to say their is a heirarchy of bicycles (let's try to gloss over the conversion vs. track geom. vs. gears topic):
road/track bikes

are you guys serious about the recumbents?
i've known a number of people who've had injuries or whose anatomy won't let them ride a bike... they were however able to switch to bents and can know continue to ride...
just be glad they're on a bike...
christ this place is getting ****ing ridiculous...

Hey, recumbents are the fastest human-powered vehicles! Who doesn't want to got 60+mph on level ground with muscle power?
I'd so love to ride a speed demon 'bent once...

i used to see a few guys riding recumbents back road hills when i lived in lancaster, i always felt nervous because it was a heavily truckered road and i was on a bike, but to be on a bike that's practically flat to the ground on that road, you're tough as balls, and yes i saw the same three guys everyday(which is alot, almost noone bikes in lancaster, this was total country road scenario, farms on each side the whole way, occasional buggy, and a whole ton of big rigs)
