I cant be bothered to read all the posts, but im guessing they mostly all describe how this is nt going to work - hehe..
If you meant to have two chains running simutaneously, that would not work because the chain would turn each crank arm at a different RPM.
Ie: you could never use the higher right side-freewheel ratio your talking about because the left hand drive is already linked to you pedalling RPM.
Plus you generally need a higher ratio for fixed as you need to pedal downhill, and a lower one for freewheel because you dont.
The double freewheel mentioned above sounds well interesting though.
Could certainly have some useful effects I think...
