Also called Flat Foot, because the rider can put his or her feet flat with their heels touching the ground.
I have a Worksman Y3K....But the Y3K is out of production.
Giant makes a bike called the Revive, which costs around $700.00 seven hundred dollars.
Someone pointed out last week that there is another one of these flat-foot bikes,the Huffy Venice.
I didn't mention "the usual suspects", I just assumed if you went to a couple different bike shops and ask they'd tell you about those.
I've not owned a Revive, but it's rather heavy for what it is. The gearing range isn't real effective and so many say it's not really good for even moderate distance riding.... The people that seemed to like it MOST are people with certain types of back injuries, who don't expect to ride far and who like it partly for its rear suspension.
