Sounds like you did not have any gearing. That would be the minimum for
me to peddle my radio pardon the pun.
Thank you!

Brett:
Regarding peddle-powered radio, we tried that once at our club's
field
day. We made one contact with a bicycle-powered station, and the guy
who did it barely made it through the contact before running out of
peddle power.
Now, granted, we're probably all out of shape, and eat way too much bad
food at field day, but that was sure a tough road to go!
