I hope this is the right spot, saw this bike while searching the web. I dont see it as being a race bike but they do claim 300-450 extra watts from arms alone. Maybe this could be a good training aide as it would help arm strength for swimming or it could be used for extra power in a race since you dont use your arms as much after the swim.
I would never buy one but would love to try this thing out.

There are a million things wrong with that contraption. I give most people 50 yards before they crash it.
Having smashed up my shoulder and used a hand cycle erg for rehab, I can say that even 50 watts with your arms is tough. 6-9 times that is impossible.
Edit: Don't know why I didn't say this before, but is "twicycle" just Mike Tyson saying "tricycle"? Or would that be "twithickle"?
