Animating a bicycle rider

I need some help animating this bicycle rider.
It is a layout for a velomobile and I want to find out how much space I need inside the body.
Here's the link to the document, https://cad.onshape.com/documents/c30c53fad8c4f8cbd5c45d6d/w/58e2b72d3e35e13f4df71267/e/d8ba63d41c55a36e72e5842d
Thank's in advance

If you animate revolute 7 on this copy, it should look more like what you're looking for:

I added reasonable limits to the knee and angle joints, and flipped the direction of revolute 7 (which required some other minor adjustments) so that the animation would go forwards rather than backwards. I limited the ankles and knees to be reasonable for human movement, but not necessarily reasonable for bike riding, so you may want to pin down the ankles a little more to get the animation you are looking for.
That was quick, it looks a lot better this way, I am going tweak the angles of the ankles a bit for a better bike rider movement.
Thank's again for the best support in the CAD market
