By Diane Snyder


Recumbent bikes are unique bikes that makes a person ride it while sitting in inclined position. Even though many people have lost interest in its design, some are still using it due to its comfortability. If you consider to buy one, make sure to assess the different aspects that will transpire. Take the time to do research in order to find the right recumbent tricycle that is perfect to your needs and budget.

When learning to ride the bicycle, start finding a level space, clear, free from traffic and obstacles. Select a surface which is paved rather than a loose material like gravel or dirt where it will slip easily. Look for an empty space or parking lot and a wide street. Before starting to practice going uphill, get yourself comfortable first.

Put the bicycle in low or medium gears. If the gears are hub, it can be change while standing still or coasting. Simply release the pressure on the pedal before moving the shifters. With the derailleur gear, riders will remove themselves and change the gear while turning the pedals. This will be better if there is someone to assist for this step since riders will lift the drive wheel upwards or wheel the bikes.

Make sure to follow the step by step procedure when mounting yourself in the bike. Mount on it and sit while the hands holding on the handlebars and both the feet still on the ground. For under seat steering bicycles, place the legs to the front of a seat and to the right and left respectively at the main boom.

When accessing their websites, make sure to take a look at the customers review sections. This is where clients are open and free to share their experiences about a particular model or company. They will provide positive or negative feedback on how the riding with the bicycle goes. Review each comment carefully and see to it that the company you choose have a lot of positive feedback and less negative reviews.

On the day of the purchase, make sure to test out all the different types available and the ones within the budget. Experience the various wheel bases, handle bar and pedal locations. Give yourself some time in practicing the models before making a decision. That way, clients will get the feeling on how to ride that particular bike.

Every recumbent cycle has a specific terrain type where they can be ridden. Just buying one design may not be a good choice especially when traveling on different terrains such as dirt, gravel and asphalt. For those that trek around mountainside should also purchase a mountain bicycle.

Before buying your very own recumbent bikes, conduct research first. It is important to know the different types of bicycles out there and know their differences and advantages. Consider reading books and magazines to gain more insights. Never buy anything without doing any research.

Budgeting is important when purchasing. The prices will differ depending on the make and model of a bike. Individuals must assess their abilities and see which one suits to their budget. Visit around different stores to compare the prices they offer for their tricycles.
