    I could see a use for it myself - I’m a stroke “survivor” and my right leg is mobile but really not very usable. A ‘device’ like this could strengthen muscles in my right leg, while not being another bullshit static bike that has no real benefit. I could, in theory, actually go somewhere. And not take 3 days per mile!

    For steering, however… (my right arm and hand is deadweight)

      That makes sense.

      Could perhaps put cable/hydraulic bike brakes on both rear wheels, in a position where they can be operated by your left hand individually or together? It seems like this should be possible.

      This assumes that the pedals are connected to both wheels via a car-style differential so that the rear wheels aren’t locked together and steering is actually possible.
