Default Precisely how bad is a recumbent at climbing hills?

Isn't being low (and aerodynamic) the whole point of a recumbent bike?


For racers, perhaps. For other cyclists, there are other equally
attractive advantages to the less recumbent bent. I can think,
instantly, of the ability to mount it more easily than an upright
bike, of being able to put your foot on the ground without getting out
of the seat, of retaining a little dignity in your posture, of being
able to wear wide shorts without exposing yourself. -- Andre Jute
