Image[edit]
I emailed them today for an image. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 15:14, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
They replied with email forthcoming. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 08:14, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
This would be a much better image: https://www.stringbike.com/_img/magic-stringdrive-01.gif The current one looks ridiculous, like it was strung my a moron. The string is going around the bearing in the middle of the crank arm, and the pulley it's supposed to go around has no string on it. The string is supposed to go symmetrically around both pulleys on both sides of the bike, and all the crank arm's bearing does is roll around the inside of the loop it's in. How is it the image found to illustrate the Stringbike happens to be probably the worst one out there, one can only speculate... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 23.121.188.112 (talk) 09:34, 2 July 2022 (UTC)
it pushes you forwards even if you pedal backwards. the inventor confirmed this in email. it's an interesting feature, but not enough to add to the main article, so i'm leaving it here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Matula (talk • contribs) 13:56, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
