Probably just a fixed gear on the back wheel...

Trials bike with front freewheel do this already, as long as the bike is moving you can shift gears.

it has been done before, many times, bcd has an early all carbon prototype built quite a few years ago. and like bcd there has been a number of home builders that has done so as well

Beautifully machined carbon/alu cover; interesting to see a shimano chain and cassette; I suppose the mech was bespoke to make the total width narrower (mech is the same depth as the cassette)
