I would recommend renting a recumbent bike by a trail and take it out for at least an hour ride. You could do that same thing with an upright bike. You might even want to do that a second time with each and then determine what’s best for you. The recumbent bike that’s in the gym is not the same as it would be on the road. The angle of the seat can make a huge difference on how it loads the spine.
I love my recumbent bike it’s very user-friendly on my back! My only suggestion would be for the best safety practice is to ride it on a trail or the where there is very little traffic. Happy trails! í ½í¸Š
