Shop for recumbents in Nijmegen, Netherlands. A recumbent bicycle is a bicycle that places the rider in a laid-back reclining position. Most recumbent riders choose this type of design for ergonomic reasons; the rider's weight is distributed comfortably over a larger area, supported by back and buttocks. On a traditional upright bicycle, the body weight rests entirely on a small portion of the sitting bones, the feet, and the hands.
At this time, I am going to focus on just two types: recumbent and upright exercise bicycles. Upright bikes have been a staple of every gym for quite some time now, and recumbent bikes have recently emerged as an interesting option, so I will try and compare the two.
