The only bikes I have seen in this area have been 'standard' ones so this one made an impact when I saw it outside the local shop. I must try for a trip to Edinburgh so that I can spend a while watching the unusual machines going around. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8597#post-86726 Sat, 06 Oct 2012 19:04:27 +0000 gembo 86726@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Interesting - giant making claims it improves posture and is aimed at people who might not have cycled otherwise. Bit like a Raleigh chopper? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8597#post-86725 Sat, 06 Oct 2012 19:01:38 +0000 Arellcat 86725@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Poco, yes, semi-recumbent is a fairly common term for that style of bike.</p> <p>More modest geometry as popularised by RANS with the Dynamik, Alterra, Cruz and so on is known as a crank forward design. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8597#post-86722 Sat, 06 Oct 2012 18:57:25 +0000 Pocopiglet 86722@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>In Brightons today I saw what I think I have identified as a Giant Revive. Never seen a bike with a back support like that before. Is there such a thing as a semi-recumbent, (although the cycling position seemed to be a bit too upright to even qualify for that) and has anyone else seen these machines about? The guy said it was very good to ride.</p> <p>Splitshift, have you seen this chap/bike around as I think this is your area too? </p>
