My diagram shows the pedal in the same orientation to the ground throughout the stroke but it doesn't do that in reality.
Yes, or any other orientation that remains constant to the center of the circle, and yes, I'm fully aware that it would be impossible to pedal that. I figured (probably erroneously) that it would help the flat earthers, I mean circle pedalers, regardless of their mathematical formal education level, that the shifting circle center thing just isn't a thing, as any motion of the pedal spindle, which obviously occurs when pedaling, changes the distance between the top of the pedal and any point in the circle, real or imaginary. But alas, this is BF, so....
