I do have osteoarthritis in my back. I want to get an exercise bike. I've always had an upright in the past, but a recumbent is intriguing. I just don't want to buy it and not use it.
Thoughts and opinions? Thanks. Be safe out there.

I have scoliosis as well as heart disease. My heart doc wants me to get my heart rate up via exercise. I have an elliptical that can be used upright or sitting. I thought that the sitting would be easier for my back pain.
I found that when I use it sitting, it takes much longer to get my heart rate up. I now use it standing. Get the same heart rate benefit, but finish my exercise quicker. I exercise on it until my back revolts.
