The design makes me think that I would have grease covered right calf after a ride.
Tom Smiley

If you look at the picture of the designer riding with his daughter you can see that most of the chain is away from the rider and only the part around the chainwheel is close to the rider, but you would need to get your calf around the crank to make contact. About the only chance to get greasy would be making a sharp left turn with full right leg extension.

I ride my bike to ride my bike, and sometimes it takes me where I need to go.
