You're saying that on the moon your cranks would be one-sixth as
effective?

One-sixth as effective as what? bicycle cranks? training devices to
train "circular" pedaling on earth? training devices for space?

I don't know. I'm asking. You're saying that everyone but you forgets
acceleration due to gravity. So can you estimate the difference in
power an astronaut could make if he used a regularly-cranked ergometer
on the ISS?
