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 recommend recumbent trikes. Very comfortable seats and you don't have to worry about balance. I have over 1300 miles on mine. Foldable modals are available for easy transport to the many trails which are a very short drive from TV. By the way, if you research the biking trail network, you'll find a bike rental shop near by that rents both types for you to try before purchase, might be worth the investment before you buy. I'd be happy to share more information if you're interested.
