Did the Chiltern 100 yesterday & saw a couple of bikes that looked like those stepper machines at the gym with small wheels & treadles connected to cranks right at the back of the bike - whats that all about then? Looks kinda crazy & must be horrible in a head wind.

Not quite but found it now - was one of these crazy things, looks quite fun but not sure I'd want to use one on a road sportive.

Oh and why does one of them try and tuck down to be more aero?

Exactly what I thought when I saw the first one on Sunday, would have been interesting to see how fast they were on the decents
