recumbent bike

Laid-back bicycle

A recumbent bike is a bicycle or stationary exercise bike designed so the rider sits in a reclined position with legs extended forward rather than down.

The low, chair-like seat with back support distributes weight more comfortably than upright bikes: Physical therapists often recommend recumbent bikes for patients with back problems.
