I spotted this bike in Rockville this morning at a coffee shop. The rider has the option to use traditional pedals, hand pedals, or both at the same time. He mentioned something about kayaking and trying to replicate that motion. He happened to have a video of himself riding it on his camera – when using the hand pedals, most of his weight appeared to be on his chest against the big pad, feet still on the traditional pedals, butt out of the saddle a few inches.
He found two bikes next to a dumpster near his apartment and built this from those. Said he puts about 100 miles a week on it. After seeing it in person and looking at the photos, it appears it is held together with a few metal brackets and tape(!).
