The foot- and hand-powered bicycle is not a completely new concept, as some time ago Ruder-Rad produced a tricycle that can be propelled by turning the pedals and pulling the handlebars at the same time, but the innovator Boyan Rista, who conceived the Twicycle, got down to business quite differently.
