Cycles

An upright bicycle is a stationary bike that lets the user ride in a comparable position to a traditional bicycle. The user sits on a small seat, with his or her back upright and unsupported, and legs vertically pushing on the pedals. A recumbent bike in contrast, offers a different approach to bicycle exercising. The word recumbent refers to the seated position and bikes of this type are very comfortable. Instead of the small seat used by other exercise bikes, which might cause problems or pains, with recumbent bikes you actually sit IN the seat. Handlebars are usually above the seat (at shoulder level) or below it, so your arms can hang down naturally.
