So, whilst having a bowl I jotted down the idea below. I have all the major parts lying around here.
The components are:
- 26" bicycle rim (have) with a big 2" knobbly tire (have) on it. The tire is packed with sand (have) to create a flywheel. Not sure if it will be heavy enough, will see.
- fork (have)
- regular bike crank (have) with a pedal axle (have) inserted. Crank will attach to the axle of the wheel.
- Leather strap made from an old belt (have) attached to a hinged board that will be the foot/pedal board.
The whole thing will be mounted to/through a collapsible workhorse (have) that has my antique saw-table (have) mounted to the top.
Power to be transferred from wheel to pulley on table saw via a rope (have). I'll spin the wheel up and use a gouge to mill out the center section of tread and this will create a 'v' for the rope to run in.

An ambitious project give it a go i would love to see it work.
