Relief from Neck and Back Pressure
With the torso more upright, the back and neck are now considerably happier!. For some people this is the only option for them to ride. An old-style (standard) road bike just does not offer a riding position that they can sustain for more than a few minutes.
Flat-footed Stance
With the seat in the proper position the rider can stay seated and reach the ground with both feet making it easy to get on and off. This is a big advantage for less tall people. It also brings a great safety aspect to the bike through a lower centre of gravity. The low stance offers a secure feeling, which inspires confidence. This is crucial for those who have had trouble balancing while groping for the ground with their toes. The lower seating position and centre of gravity also make it more fun to corner but much more unlikely that you will go over the handlebars!
