    Recumbent cycling was supposed to mean “never having to say you're sore”. And this form of biking was supposed to be "faster" and "safer". Right? But soon after you got your first set of bent wheels, you found that your knees were achy, your calves and hamstrings were sore you and your butt felt as if it had been tenderized with a sledgehammer. Worse, one lovely afternoon found you seriously considering a skin graft after your front tire blew up. To add insult to injury, your ego was instantly shattered when an ostensibly weak 90-year-old guy zoomed past you in a single speed beach bike.

    So is it time to throw in the towel and give up on recumbency? No way ! It's time to pick up a few bent tips and tricks...
