New road bike and body aches

There are disadvantages to recumbents, but the riding comfort is incomparable. For the most part, the pain you get from riding an upright bike really doesn't happen on a recumbent--and what pain you do get on a recumbent is much less severe. ~ I agree with that 100%. I switched to recumbents 10 years ago, and haven't regretted it at all. I remember the sore butt, numb, tingling soreness in my upper back and neck. The only pain I have received from recumbents was sore, over worked muscles in my legs, after 100+ miles a day. Even that was diminished once I learned to downshift and spin the crank, instead of riding a higher gear and having to pump more torque into it. 96 Linear LWB, USS 99 Vision 40 SWB, OSS |
