whoa, kooky!

From your headers, you're in the USA I'm presuming. I don't even know if
you can get this model in the US, but it does appear from the photos to be
a very interesting hybrid between traditionally low recumbent and regular
upright bike, riding a bit higher than the recumbent seems like a good
idea to me for visibility's sake.
I doubt you'll find one easily in a shop in the states, but you should
easily be able to find a bike shop selling the Electra Townie, a
semi-upright I mentioned in my other post. You might want to test ride a
townie, and if your brain says, "hey, I wouldn't mind if this was a even a
little more "relaxed"", then make the effort to find one of these Giants.
The Giant looks pretty wild, but I'm doubting if its pricetag, which
isn't crazy by any means, is really going to be reflected in practicality
compared to a Breezer or Electra at less than half the price. And if you
have to have it shipped without local support or a test ride---that seems
pretty grim.
