This question related to stationary exercise bikes. I bought a recumbent bike a few moinths back and
have noticed that I seem to have developed some mild knee pain which I didn't have before when I was
using my road bike indoors on a wind trainer.
Are recumbent bikes known to be harder on the knees due to the pedaling position (legs more 'in
front', relative to body mass, vs. legs below you on an upright) or perhaps it's just the model I
have (Proform 965R)? I've tried adjusting the seating position (fore and aft) and it doesn't make
much difference. I wonder if I should sell it and go back to the wind trainer or buy an upright
instead. I don't want to permanently injure my knees. Thanks.
