Are recumbents hard to learn to ride?
First time recumbent riders frequently feel a little shaky but most can ride without tipping over almost immediately. An unsteady, wobbly feeling for the first mile or so is normal and then your body will quickly become accustomed to the new position. It usually takes about twenty to forty miles to become completely relaxed and confident. Then — look out! There are reports of smiles that had to be surgically removed.
