Let's see...Take one of the most elegantly simple machines in the
world and let rocket scientists redesign it for a billion bucks just
so some guy can shave .000000000000001 seconds off his time. Yep,
sounds like time, money, and resources well spent.

It's one thing for a malinformed reporter to screw up a description like
that, but it appeared to be the bike company rep who was spouting that
dreck.

So stiff no ordinary person could ride it. Maybe it resists your stroke,
so pedaling causes it to break your legs.
