Are recumbents comfortable?
Absolutely. Due to the reclined seating position, you are not hunched over the handlebars like on a normal bike. Your weight is not resting on your arms, so you eliminate all the strain and pain from your hands, wrists, arms and shoulders. Since you are sitting in a position facing front, you don’t get the neck strain so common with normal bikes, plus you have a better view of your surroundings at all times. You are sitting in a seat with back support, not balancing on a little wedge of hard plastic. That means no more chafing in those tender spots.
