Sounds like you want a "crank forward" semi-recumbent design

Literally. I want to be able to put my foot down from my "in the

I'm guessing, I have an ancient echo in my head that tells my how my
leg should be only slightly bent while in the saddle, or that if I
pedal backwards with the ball of my foot on the pedal my hips should
not rock. I've taken for granted that when I set the saddle height to
accomplish both of those, it comes at the expense of putting my foot
down (quickly and easily) at a stop sign or unexpected roadside beer
tent. I presume the echo is residue from some racer-oriented mag I
once read. It's high time I release the un-racer in me and embrace the
low-down.
So how do you do it? How bent is your knee at 6 o'clock? Can you put
your foot down?
