Who rides recumbent trikes

The market is saturated with look-alike bikes. 

Recumbents provide a healthy dose of excitement, both for the customers, and for us. Recumbents allow us to fill the needs of those customers who would not be well-served by a standard upright bike. 

They naturally appeal to more mature riders, who have had to give up cycling because of back or other injuries, or who cannot get comfortable on a standard bike for reasons of their own. Recumbent trikes in particular, dispel people’s fears about injuries from falling as they get older.

But let me dispel the notion that recumbents are solely for the aging population or those in declining health. Of course, we all, regardless of age or physical condition, can benefit from more movement, and the more enjoyable the movement the more we’re likely to stick with it. 

So, the main reason our customers are attracted to recumbents is because they combine good ergonomics and excellent performance with spectacular success. In other words, they are both fun to ride, and really, really comfortable. And, in the case of trikes, amazingly stable. This also happens to make them a natural choice for people with physical limitations, or those who never learned to ride a two-wheeled bike.

In short, recumbent bikes and trikes are designed for comfort. They eliminate some of the less pleasant aspects of cycling (sore butt, back, neck & wrists), without sacrificing any of the joy!

REcumbent tricycles are 3 wheel bikes with a lower profile and a reclined seated position. As a result, they offer a far more comfortable, stabler ride than your traditional bicycle. Their unique ergonomic design offers an alternative for older cyclists, those with balance challenges, and those who want to keep active, but don’t want to use a traditional bicycle. Here we look at who recumbent trikes are good for and why.

Recumbent trikes are designed for comfort. They make cycling a more relaxing activity, while also preventing pain in the back, shoulders, and wrists. Many people find they can cycle greater distances because their body is so relaxed. Because the seat is ergonomically correct, recumbent trikes keep your head in a natural, erect position. You enjoy greater visibility, a bonus when touring new areas or taking in the beauty of nature on cycling trails. Facing forward also means you are more aware of your surroundings so you are less likely to have accidents. You can sit back and enjoy a comfortable ride.
