The Rollerrowing set consists of a pair of wheels which strap to the pelvic nethers, a single wheel for each heel (think spurs), a knee-mountable crossbar sporting oarlocks, and a pair of pole-oars. All, except the oars, can be collapsed and stored in a small bag or purse.
Row, row, row your butt,
Gently down the street;
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Rolling on your seat.
//Could you rework this to have a handle on the end of a cable like a rowing machine, and have that coupled to the wheels??//

Maybe in the Netherlands, in the future, with advanced bearings. |

I"m thinking that unless the oars have some way to grab
onto the road, this won't work so well. |
|
| |
So, fit rubber pads to the ends of the oars, to grab the road. |

Punting through the park, anyone? |

Seems like you'd need a wide road with few other
pedestrians. Could you rework this to have a handle
on the end of a cable like a rowing machine, and
have that coupled to the wheels?? |

Nah... Your original version would look so much
more interesting [+]. Just yell "jump" whenever you
pass someone too close. |
|

I keep rereading this expecting some sort of a wing... |

//Could you rework this to have a handle on the end of a cable like a rowing machine, and have that coupled to the wheels??// This is well baked. Though it is a bit weird that they all seem engineered so the rower faces the direction of travel. |

//wing// Be thankful. I could have had a bunch of them describing various orbital paths, suspended from an articulating rotating mechanism... |

Anyways, it isn't an attempt at a rowing-motion powered bicycle: the frame is the human body and the oars are real (ie: rubber-tipped poles). |
|
| |
It would look very much like somebody rowing down the street, on their arse facing backwards, without a boat. |
