This allows a lower seat height, and a semi-recumbent 'sit-down' riding position. According to their designers, the CF bikes offer the majority of the benefits of a recumbent without the added complications. The CF has two full size wheels and no seat back. It uses common cruiser/comfort bike parts, and the seats are interchangeable. With a CF you can sit at a stop with your feet flat on the ground as well as achieve a proper leg extension when pedalling — all with this lower and more relaxed seat position. Imagine an upright comfort bicycle with the wheelbase extended slightly, seat moved rearward and lowered, a larger cruiser-style seat, and riser handlebars." Provides a list of manufacturers. 05-08 Cruzbike for Comfort, Convenience, and Stability (Cruzbike.com) This is a semi-recumbent.

"Whether you call them 'Crank Forward', 'Semi Recumbent', 'flat foot' or 'comfort bike' for many riders they are a practical and comfortable alternative. These bikes can be a comfortable, low maintenance, practical, stable bicycle that is easy to get on and off of. Get some exercise while running errands, commuting or just enjoying the outdoors. CF bikes have much of the comfort of a recumbent bike but are still more traditional and super easy to get used to."

The Day6Bike costs $379 for single speed and up to $679 for 21 speed. "First, the crank forward bikes are, in our opinion, a much improved design over the traditional bicycle. With the proper seat adjustment, your feet are just able to touch the ground which improves balance at stops and the higher handlebars decrease the amount of pressure on your wrists. At Day 6 we use a similar concept but take it to a much higher level." The Day 6 bicycle, matched with the Bionx hub motor, could make a good commuting bicycle, even in hilly areas, as long as the rider is under 200 pounds. 08-07 ElectraBike for Comfort and Stability (ElectraBike.com) This is a semi-recumbent three-speed.
