A year ago, I found a bottom bracket that allowed both forward and reverse pedaling. Reverse pedaling still resulted in a forward direction. This product was used on mountain bikes to allow different muscle to be used to extend human effort.
I can't find the site now.
It was going for $150 made in Korea or Taiwan. It may have crank arms attached.

Called three bicycle shops and they admitted they never heard of this before. I have them looking now. I guess I made them curious about it.
Looked up the Korean business directory... nothing sparks with my memory.
I am still looking...

I am mistaken... The company is from Korea. I should have known from the fonts they use.

Looking at the website, I don't see or read anything about what I'm looking for. Can you be specific?
I know about a 1930's bicycle that use a chain method. Using two freewheeling gears, one mounted in reverse, they achieve this same thing.
I am looking for a single bottom bracket, that provides bi-directional pedaling.

Yeah, it was around since about 1998, made in Taiwan. If you have the name of it, you might be able to search www.kita.org for more info.
I am not absolutely sure that they are made anymore.

Check out the website below. Cruise to the bottom of the page in the middle and click on the retro-two speed photo. There's plenty of links in there that show how it works.
