================== ARTICLE START ==================

You've noticed them on the trail and thought, " gee, that looks

so easy, and comfortable! " Welcome to the world of recumbent

bikes, or " bents " as they are sometimes called by enthusiasts.

Ask anyone who owns one and they'll tell you that riding a

recumbent bike is outrageously comfortable.

When you are riding a recumbent bike you are leaning back, as

if you are sitting in a chair with a back support. No sore butt

or chaffed legs. No sore back! Your legs are out in front of

you, as they are if you are driving your car. Your butt is

comfortably cushioned in a nice wide seat.

It will take time to get used to the feel of handling a

recumbent bike. Recumbent bicycles have steering located above

the seat or under the seat. The above seat steering handlebar

is located about shoulder height. If you dangle your arm down

at your sides in your chair that is approximately where the

below seat handlebars are located. The type of steering your

choose is totally your preference, both have about the same

ease of control.

You will need to decide what type of recumbent bike you want

and how much you can spend. Some ride and handle very smoothly,

and some not so smoothly. Also, you use an entirely different

set of muscles when riding a recumbent bike.

Due to the way that you sit and steer a recumbent bike you will

need to develop new skills for stopping and for climbing hills.

The best part is that in the reclined position your legs are

able to carry a much heavier load easier than when riding a

regular bike, therefore going up hill will eventually be easier

on a recumbent bike. It will however take time for you to

develop the legs to uphill easily on a recumbent bike as you

use different muscle groups than with an upright bike.

Talk with family or friends who may already have a recumbent

bike to get some pointers. Visit a few bike shops and talk to

the pro's about a recumbent bike. Most importantly, enjoy

riding!
