That's not the one I'm thinking of, though it's similar.

That's the one.  It looks like it works asynchronously (i.e one foot forward with the
other back).  The one Rainer referenced looks like it might be synchronously
pedalled - I can't read much of the German text to figure it out.

Anyway - thanks.  It does seem to me that getting both on the pumping pedals would
be easier to cope with than one on a pedal and one on a footpeg.
