What are Different Types of Recumbent Bikes?
Recumbent bikes are a special type of bike that provide the rider with back support and have pedals that are located parallel to the seat of the bike. There are three broad categories of recumbent bikes: long wheelbase (LWB), compact long wheelbase (CLWB), and short wheelbase (SWB). In LWB recumbent bikes, the pedals are located anywhere between the front and back wheels. They offer a smooth ride that is both fast and comfortable. On the other hand, LWB recumbent bikes can be difficult to maneuver at low speeds when ridden on pathways that are narrow or streets that are filled with pedestrians or other cyclists.
