There are two basic types of recumbent steering; 1. Over-seat steering (OSS): This is the more common, normal, user-friendly, and performance-oriented (in most cases) type of steering. These are your basic upright handlebars that connect to a stem or riser into a head tube (or false head tube on some models). 2. Under-seat steering (USS): These are the handlebars that are down at your sides underneath the seat. USS is considered more comfortable by many riders, though it can take more time to become accustomed to. USS adds more complexity to designs because of fork modifications and steering linkages. Some recumbents have linkage (steering rod and rod-end bearings) which are more complicated and require frequent inspection.
