My friend has a similar bike to that, except that the front is a rear triangle. The bars are alot lower, so you put your legs over the bars and pedal the FRONT wheel. Ghetto-recumbent. Its a coasterbrake too. Lots of dangerous fun!

was it one of those akward deals that you have to crawl in and out of and hope that a friend would hold it up while you did? those are the worst.

Not at all. Completely open on the top end. I think it was a short cruiser frame, decked out with 26" wheels. Fun, yet hard to ride contraption. Easy to get off though due to the short C.O.G.
