> 2wd on a bicycle is just plain silly. Weight and friction are such huge disadvantages to overcome.

Chains are pretty efficient (otherwise we wouldn't use them in the first place) and the weight difference would be tiny for a normal-weight person. If you've ever skidded in rain or ice 2wd seems like it could make sense.

Did you skid from beastly leg power or from braking or cornering though...
