belt drive is one of the few technologies left that could benefit the long standing unchanged bicycle design.

I see this old fella on a old school (but very smart looking) touring bike frequently who has belt drive and it seems to work very well for him.

And most scooters, and a few motorbikes including the whole of BUELL's range are belt drive.

The belts are pretty high tech, made of kevlar and such. Cant see why it wouldnt be excellent on a pedal-cycle. Would weigh much less, and be maintenence free. It would be as much of a revolution as the transition between steel and aluminium rims.

how will it work with derailleur gears? how would one tension it? belts are a lot more expensive then chains, and give less signs of wear before they snap, and it wouldn't work on a track bike.
