Recumbent bikes, in particular, are an excellent option for those with low back pain as the bike provides added support for the back. Recumbent bikes are also good for those who are new to cycling. The bottom line: a recumbent bike can provide a cardiovascular workout for users of virtually all ability levels.
A recumbent bike is a piece of cardio equipment for individuals with low-back issues or other physical limitations that prevent the use of an upright bike and is good for a warm-up or cool-down.
