Gravity bends a crank?

actually SwoopNZ, I haven't been to Berkeley, CA. for a while but in the early 1980's, I would visit my future wife at CAL Berkeley. While driving, I could see my destination but I could not get there directly. I had to drive this-a-way and that-a-way to get there as some of the streets were blocked off. I guess they wanted the streets to wear evenly(Who knows?!). As a young man, I thought it was absolutely the dumbest thing I had EVER seen.

A very simple solution would be develop an app for your smart phone to remind you to rotate your crank every month or for you younger married guys use your wife's monthly cycle as a reminder. Problem solved!
