Ultra-Climber on 2008 Fargo Hill Climb
Loading...
Uploaded by CyclistLorax on Mar 18, 2008
Cycling Instructor/Aerospace Engineer, Dan Gutierrez uses a special bike he created to climb straight up Fargo Street; the toughest hill in North America with a 32% grade for over 1/10 mile in length. This video was shot on the day of the LA Wheelmen Fargo St. Hill Climb on March 16th, 2008. Brian DeSousa did the tripod and hand-held video camera work, and Dan shot the helmet camera video. This video demonstrates that the concept of adding a second crank to a single bike and modifying the rider position, allows stable operation with ultra-low gears at very low speeds on a very steep hill, but at a much lower bicycle weight to lug up the hill compared to using a tandem bicycle with similar gearing.

To all of you who didn't read the description, the point of the bike was not speed relative to walking, it was proof of low speed stability via rider geometry, and demonstration of aerobic climbing via low gearing on a single ratherthan tandem frame. If you make a dumb, "Whhy didn't you just walk" comments, you will be blocked and your comment will be deleted.
