I did the very first animation manually, it took hours to get the feet on the pedals and keep them there, that is when I decided to do the bicycle as a conforming figure, but backward from clothing, so the figure would be conformed to the bicycle, not the other way around. I was sort of suprized that it worked as well as it does, I did have to add JCM-like rotations to the pedals, so they rotate with the crank- otherwise they wouldn't stay flat. The only fly in the ointment I can see is: if you have an animation with two bicycles in it, the crank in bicycle 1 turns the pedals in bicycle 2, which is O.K. if they are going the same speed, but not if one is stationary. I tried changing the figure numbers, but Poser just puts them back.
