This could be interesting as a production bike...

Fully integrated chainless bike

I was wondering when they would make automatic gear shift bikes

Probably already banned by the UCI

 

I heard they banned Bont TT shoes recently. Wonder on what grounds?

[ccc2]

they banned derailleurs in the early 1900's as well

Looks odd but neato.

what happens if you puncture? ...seems a bit rough to get the rear wheel out ?

awesome innovation though...would like to see more chainless concepts in future...cause IMHO chains are stupid > wear so badly and need alot of maintenance

[Witkop]

could get a good reception from the mtbker and cycling tourists if it is inexpensive and low on maintenance

So it's pretty much a shaft drive bicycle..... looks stranger than a shaft drive motorcycle (BMW has loads, a few other manufacturers have a few) but sounds cool. I wonder what the weight is like though? It's pointless having a 'hi-tech' bike but it weighs >12Kg's - you might as well stick to the conventional chain driven bike then.
