This thread is about cycling and not motorcycle: it must include a pair of bicycle pedal that the rider pushes with their foot to propel the bicycle. It provides the connection between the cyclist's foot or shoe and the crank allowing the leg to turn the bottom bracket spindle and propel the bicycle's wheels.
Look, according to your logic: when I put some fancy pedals into my car, so my co-pilot can provide some additional electricity while I am driving fast on gasoline, I am riding a bike. It does propel the car, since the additional electricity means that the engine has to provide less energy to the alternator.
And contrary to that rocket stunt, my copilot would actually contribute more to propulsion. I doubt that the pedals have any meaningful propulsive contribution on such a rocket bike, while my copilot could in theory provide maybe 1% to the propulsive energy.
Now to something more stupid. Really.
Today is the 25th anniversary of the (bureaucratic act of) the German reunification. I already planned to use the good weather for a small trip towards the former border, but because I had some symptoms of a flu, I decided to just do a small round-trip with a few extension points, should I feel better.
And I felt quickly much better as soon as I hit the road. In the end, I not only did a trip through the eastern and northern parts of Wolfsburg, but also extended the trip until the former border, through the beautiful natural reserve of the
Drömling and past the
castle of Neuhaus (GER).
In the end, the trip got extended to 54 km, which made me call it the "2x25" tour in resume. Which is a pretty suitable result for this special reunification day. It was a great fun tour on one of the last really warm days of the year here, sadly I had forgotten to take some more pictures while marking off kilometers.
The stupidity of it: Since I was not really used to cycle such distances, my legs had already been burning on the final third of the tour and feel right now like the next days I will have to face the mother of all sore muscles.
