Comfort without compromise? Many riders consider
recumbents because a regular bicycle contorts their body into positions
that are inherently uncomfortable. Common complaints are wrist, shoulder
and neck pain, crotch and butt pain, even numbness and impotence in men.
To be fast and efficient on an upright bike, you must be able to tollerate
a hunched-over, strained position in the "drops" or on aero-bars.
On a Volae recumbent, you are sitting on a real seat,
with no pressure on your wrists, seat, neck or shoulders. Your back is
fully supported and at the end of your ride, nothing hurts. As an added
bonus, you get a full view of the scenery instead of looking down at the
road and front wheel. That's just part of comfort without
compromise.
