Are they comfortable?
Recumbents are extremely comfortable. The seats are the most high-tech bicycle seats on the face of the planet. They are light, comfortable and made to sit on for many hours. They have full support for your buttocks and back. Seats are generally either a composite shell with foam and covering or a breathable mesh covered sling frame made of aluminum or steel or a hybrid of the two. You actually sit in the seat. The handlebars are either above the seat in front of your chest, known as over-seat steering (OSS), or below the seat known as under-seat steering (USS). Recumbent bicycles do away with neck, shoulder and wrist pain and offer a very comfortable ride unlike any other bicycle type that you have ever tried.
