what do u guys think about this?
the gear switch seems a little odd/hard to use.

Cool video until he weirded out and kissed the bike.

Neat little gadget.

Using the two-speed crank system on a fixed is a little odd. Seems better suited for geared bikes where the rider doesn't have to lock up the rear in order to shift while moving.

As I recall the gearing system has been around for years but doesn't seem too popular. I'd guess due to weight and efficiency.

Overall a cool idea for riders who need the extra climbing lows, even if they had to stop to shift. :beer:
