Recumbent vs. Upright (Part 3)
If you got used to riding a real bicycle, or if you are a professional cyclist, you will most likely choose an upright bike. The vertical position in which your body stays in the upright bicycle will give you more power to employ on the pedals, thus making for a better exercise. Recumbent bikes on the other hand, will be more appealing to those that prefer to ride in a comfortable bodily position, those who simply use the bike in order to relax while they read a book for example, or those that might have back injuries.
