By Eric Reynolds


Most people are familiar of upright bicycles since some people are actively using it as their means of transportation instead of cars. Well, it really is a nice practice to use bikes sometimes since it can be a form of exercise. However, when talking about recumbent bicycle, not all people are familiar with this kind of bikes since these are just introduced recently. There are common mistakes that are often associated with this two types of bikes and to make it clearer, this article would discuss the difference between this two and what are benefits of each of them.

The most obvious difference between this two is the position of riders when using it. Apparently, traditional bikes would have their riders sitting in an upright position with their both legs spread to make the pedaling possible. With the recumbent ones, it is quite different as your foot are in front of you.

This kind of bikes are unique in design since your legs and feet are placed in front of you. It is like you are driving a car even if the thing you have to do is actually kick on the pedals. This has a relative comfort level that most people using it can actually agree of.

Though most of the time, people would base their choice on the stuff they are used of using even if the newer ones is better and more suitable for them. Indeed, it will be all based on the preference of the user whether which one they want to spend their money on.

However, if you are personally suffering from back pains, it may be a lot better to go and use the recumbent ones. As rider, you could have the liberty of leaning and making your position comfortable as you seat. That way, the sore and pain in your back and spine is not triggered at all.

It does not induce the stress and pressure on either the backbones at all. Besides that, it could also be used as either a recreational activity because its cardiovascular workout is about the same with typical bikes, so there are nothing to worry about as it provides the same muscle edge.

Indeed, looking at how much the difference and benefit the recumbent bike can provide, it probably is about time to have a try on it. In fact, the advantages of which does not necessarily stops there because it still has a handful good stuff to offer.

Safety wise, this type of bikes can surely eliminate the strong chances of injury because of the position you have as you pedal. You do not stand up as you pedal making you aware of your balance even more compared to the traditional once which needs you to find your center of gravity to balance well.

Even people with neurological condition can go ahead and use this kind of bikes safely. This may support a possible use of individuals that has different abilities and its impact will never be that stressful or exhausting for them since they can work on it even if it is in a slow means.
