Sorry if there's already a thread on this, I haven't seen one! I currently have an average stationary exercise bike, but the seat is so uncomfortable that it actually causes bruising, which means I can't use it every day. I've been looking into recumbent bikes and I'd like to buy one, but I'm worried about how effective they are. Since the seat is more like a chair, you don't really have to balance anymore and I feel like that was a good part of the workout in the first place. However, with a more comfortable seat I'd be able to use it for longer periods of time and more frequently, so it might even out? I'm not sure.
Do any of you currently use a recumbent cycle? If you do (or have in the past), did it do any good for you? Thanks in advance!
