Re: What's a "recumbent" bike?
Posted by Barbara on 12/29/98
Dear Sue: You probably have seen a recumbent bike but not known the name of it. You actually sit as if in a chair (it has a back support as well as a seat). There are no handle bars but there are grab bars down on each side of the seat. Your legs stretch out in front of you to peddle. Since your hands are free you can also use weights and get some upper body work as you peddle. I much prefer this to the regular stationary bike I used to have. Hope this helps. I have a Schwinn which I like a lot.
