Part of this subject is covered in 'General Information' and 'LPR Bike Descriptions and Origins'. I will finish this section when graphs and drawings are complete.
Points to address:
1, Flawed design ladder (designing to the flexible instead of to the fixed),
2, General mechanical efficiency, human biology versus the common bicycle,
3, Flywheel effect versus reciprocal waste,
4, Knee strain, hip strain, rider comfort,
5, Ground clearance safety issues,
6, Transmission issues (derailleur/cassette) and shifting in general (shifting while stationary, moving, coasting, and pedaling),
And much more...
