Could a cvt work on a bicycle?
Why hasn't anyone ever built one?

As previous anon mentioned they exist - they're just really heavy which means they don't make sense for performance applications, and relatively expensive/complex which makes them a poor fit for the commuting and utility bikes where they make sense.

Guessing you don't have a bike share system where you live?

Where I live we don't even have one bicycle lane, so bike sharing is something I don't even know what is.

Well, you're lucky there, you should do everything you can to make sure those don't happen.

The CVTs are not terrible, if you're dealing with a boat anchor bike and variable grades under about 3% then they let you dial in the perfect cadence. Would never put them on a real bike though.

Those usually have CVTs?
I've always wanted to try them so I'd have to rent one just to see.

Some of them do. There are still a lot of 3-speeds. You can just look at the handlebar first, if it has that progression/ramp symbol thingy then it's a nuvinci.

There is a significant drive train loss which is too much for the convenience for most people under purely human power. They are starting to gain popularity on ebikes
