Crankset and bottom bracket assembly

A crankset and bottom bracket assembly, said assembly comprising:

• a bottom bracket assembly configured for insertion into a bracket shell of a bicycle frame, said bottom bracket assembly comprising a spindle having a first end and a second end;
• a first crank assembly comprising a first crank, said first crank comprising a first ratchet mechanism configured for connection to said spindle at said first end, said first ratchet mechanism comprising a freewheel axle having at least one tooth, and a hub receiver having at least one pawl configured for engaging said tooth, wherein when said first ratchet mechanism is rotated in a first direction relative to the spindle, the pawl does not engage said tooth and said first crank freewheels relative to said spindle, and wherein when said first ratchet mechanism is rotated in a second direction relative to the spindle, the pawl engages said tooth and rotation of said first crank drives the rotation of said spindle;
• and
• a second crank assembly comprising a second crank, said second crank configured for connection to said spindle at said second end, wherein when said first crank freewheels, said second crank drives said spindle.
