Bike Related Invention?

What name would you give this bike? I'm going with STUPEDAL.

It is a dandy horse, just instead of sitting on the platform, you're suspended from it. :rolleyes:

So, I'm not so sure it's an invention as it's just a device from 200 years ago done slightly differently. And no mechanical advantage, either :)

Ooooh...it combines the most uncomfortable facets of bicycling and rock climbing into one awkward contraption.
Applaud the effort, though.
