Ladep is the word "pedal" spelled backwards for those who are not operatives in the CIA. And the Ladep is a tall bike, as evidenced by the photo of the guy riding above the picnic tables. You advance the bike and yourself by pedaling backwards. The friction from the top rear wheel drives the bottom rear wheel. And the chain is on the left. (So you can now permanently stain your other trouser cuff.) Check out a bunch of the 2006 Cyclemagic Festival homemade bikes on YouTube . What do you use it for? Planning to make an apple pie anytime soon?
The Hyperbike is something that Marshall would make in for Sydney Bristow to gain silent and uninvited access to an Eastern Bloc warehouse in the middle of nowhere. It is 200 lbs, not in production, and gives you an upper body workout. Granted it eliminates numbness and discomfort related to pressure on your hands and butt. But if Marshall could mount a silent hand-cranked Gatling tranq gun on it, it could really make for some good spy fun.
