Very interesting, especially for someone like me who is looking towards recumbents - these seem sort of a halfway house.

You can stand to power up hills or use the bars to pull against when powering up hills. You can sit on the saddle and be flat footed on the ground which seems a nice option. The downside is that you are as aerodynamic as a bread van ... but you don't ride these things for speed. They're touted as the ultimate comfort bike and that may not be far wrong.
