On a hot, still morning she took off from Tunisia to bomb the southern tip of Italy. An errant piece of flak tore a hole in a wing tank and, like a wounded bird, this is where she landed, not to return on this day, or any other day.

I don't remember which bicycling magazine it was, I don't think it was Bicycling, but one of them had an article covering this pedal in, I think, early '05, maybe late '04.
As I recall, it's supposed to give a more efficient pedal stroke by moving the axis of the pedal closer the the sole of the foot, among other things.

Wouldn't that play havoc with fitting a bike for the rider? It would put the sole of your foot several centimeters below the pedals' axis rather than above it.
