Seat first or crank forward?

The design goals are laudible though the prose in the press release is a bit breathless. But that’s Vegas.
Australian Bicycle Design Makes History
An Australian-designed bicycle has finally solved the problem of bicycle “seat-soreness,” being the first bicycle in history to be designed from the seat first. The new bicycle is being launched at this week’s Interbike Show in Las Vegas.
Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) September 26, 2006 — Interbike, the world’s biggest Bicycle Retailer trade show, being held at the Sands Convention Centre in Las Vegas this week (27-29 Sept) features the global launch of the first bicycle in history to be designed from the seat first, to remove the age-old problem of seat-soreness and make pedaling easier.
Seen it all before, the design just follows that of any other crank forward style of bike. Looks like a fun ride though.

What others have to say…
Thanks for the potted review and comments Sherry, I’ll look out for the bikes here in Oz and give one a spin.

I tried one of these bikes at Interbike. It was truly awful. The seat was very uncomfortable. You lean against it; can’t really sit on it. I do think that crank forward bikes can be fun to ride, but not this one.
