Is there any way to contact Jean Moro, or anyone else who might know about getting a Lunalander? thanks

[...] me of the old Alenax bikes. It is also reminiscent of the Lunar Lander design, which I have previously written about on the blog. I have expressed my opinion about lever driven transmissions in the past, so I won’t [...]

Hi,
With the lunalander pedal all persons can ride, without any type of training, for 50-60 km at a medium speed, on a medium flat plane, of about 20-25 Km/h and prefer(minor heart bpm rate, minor oxigen consuption , no pain) ride an uphill(es.:8%medium-25%max)10km long, with a bicycle that run it.
All these without any type of pain but also with an impressive state of wellness. No pain (d.o.m.s.) more gain.
If you have doubts or skepticism about this, and want help to read and discuss the text of G.a.p.s., please send directly to me at this adress(info@lunalander.eu , f.mak1@alice.it) your questions.
I'll get, if is possible, just in time, the simplest answer.
The version of the G.a.p.s. downloadable from the lunalander site is write for a medium level, but non for all.

p.s.
A my questions:
Who are a serious cyclist?
During the development, a pro cyclist don't accept a test: ride with his race bicycle a long uphill(9km at a medium 10%) at minimum stability speed (about 3km/h) vs. a normal 100w power person and his bike with the lunalander pedal and very little other.....

...the efficiency laws are simply but i think not more knows....

Have a nice day and thanks very much for your interest and attentions.

…who knows, james, i may have to eat my words but i think i’ll wait until a more serious cyclist gives us a different perspective…

…as w/ your regard to jean’s english, which is great by the way, i’m not denigrating the man’s athletic prowess…it’s just that certain abilities define other capabilities, if that makes sense…

…perhaps the ‘gaps’ system can work harmoniously w/ our own very efficient tensegritous structure…it’s still gonna be a hard sell, guaranteed…

I received the following email from Jean about his positive firsthand experience with the Luna Lander. I appreciated hearing his account so, with his permission, I am posting the message here. By the way, I disagree with Jean about his English being bad; it is much better than my French. Anyway, here is the message:

Hello everybody,

First at all I would like apologize for my very bad English.
I would like to add a comment to your article concerning the Luna lander project.

I bought one Luna Lander and one other pedal set for my home trainer. I am French, 48 years old, 1.75 meter and 98 kg (I know, it is too much,….) I am a sales manager on chemicals products. All this description to explain the fact I am not the sportive stereotype.
My dream was to practice bicycle as I was 20 years old, but some heart
problems made it impossible. After a surgical intervention my heart
rhythm seemed good and I was trying to find a sport activity but a soft
one.

In the Luna Lander concept I immediately detected some think different and able to help me. I am an engineer and the theoretical presentation was interesting, but as you I remained skeptical.

I meet Fabrizio (now a good friend) and I tested the bike on is shop, it was a big surprise for me.
During more than a hour, with an without the pedal, with an without the pain.

Could you imagine, I am able to roll during 40 Km and after that absolutely no pain in my legs, no accumulation of uric acid on my calfs. I repeat I am no a sportive, I am only a scientific and a curious man. This bike or this pedal system is a real innovation. I am not here to make advertisement but I think that it could be a solution to travel without big efforts on a
pleasant and ecologic vehicle.

Thanks for your comments and I remain at your disposal for any question you
may have

Jean MORO

…james, you did post that oobject site…bookmarked & perused regularly…absolutely fascinating place to visit…

…’company of cyclists’…great concept, good people, extremely frustrating site cuz nothing ‘clicks’ larger…we wanna see !!!…

…total props to sweetpea bicycles for the flickr photos (clear powdercoat, wow)…man, wish i was going up to portland for the show…

…’luna lander’…oh, boy, where to start…36 page pdf, charts, graphs, photos & more bloody explanations that serve to over complicate one of the most beautifully efficient & majestic machines ever devised by man…
…i realize i’m dogmatically opinionated & i’ll defer to your ‘in depth’ perusal, but to me it’s a testament to bio-mechanics, physiology, computer modeling, college thesis’s (thesii?) & way to much red-bull…

…they make a nice ‘bio-mec’ shovel though (honest, wait & see)…
