Is the Giant "Revive" considered a recumbent?

Just curious. My wife says she'd never ride a recumbent, but she loves
her new Revive.

:-)

I don't consider it a recumbent. Some folks call them semi-recumbents.
What does Giant call them?

I glad to hear you wife loves it and is riding it. That's what's important.

P.S. Bob, you obviously you don't want to tell her it is a recumbent. Tell
her it's a new wave comfort bike.

Saw my first Revive last Saturday night at the Moonlight Ramble in St. Louis. I
wouldn't call it a recumbent. Just one opinion.

Yep. That's what she thinks it already is!

Personally, I agree. Just what I *would* call it, I'm not sure.

Giant calls the Revive "the Ultimate Comfort Bike"

Different strokes.... I tried a Revive and found it uncomfortable compared
to either of my recumbents. Just seemed like a funny riding position. But, I
agree, if she likes it and it gets her riding, that is all that counts.

Not by Giant... "It’s not a recumbent! Don’t call it that," demanded Giant’
s Russ Okawa, only somewhat in jest, referring to Giant’s new EZB Revive. -

I've seen the Revive in the LBS, but I haven't got 'round to riding one
yet. I suppose I would call it "semi-recumbent".

Hey, me too!

My best friend's son has a little chant with which he likes to torment
us: "old... fat... slow..."

To which I always respond: "big... strong... mean..."
