Whats best, under seat steering (USS) or over seat steering (OSS)?
OSS puts the rider in a more aerodynamic position, makes it easier to walk the bike and provides a better place to mount mirrors and computers. Some riders find USS to be a very comfortable position, but it’s difficult to implement effectively in a bicycle design, which is why many manufacturers don’t offer it as an option. The newly-refined open cockpit design (as found on Volae recumbents) offers the best of both worlds.
