i was thinking about reciprocating pedals for a trike/velomobile
if i want to enclose the front of trike, wouldnt have to worry about the down stroke clearance
anyone try that here?

I remember watching Justin do something on his Solar bike, in not the same style as your vid but it can give you more idea's of whats possible.

There were several built over the last 40 years that I am aware of. And one of the first very nice recumbents had them.
