What are recumbent bike categories? |

Usually the seat is bigger and more comfortable to make the riding a fun, safe and at the same time still enjoy the speed. After a long time riding, there's no muscle soreness at all even for a new rider. Some people have the nick name " bent " for it. |

There are OSS (over seat steering, another term is ASS, above seat steering) and USS (under seat steering) types. Also there are different styles of recumbents. The most noticeable difference between the different styles is the length of the bike. There are long wheel base (LWB), short wheel base (SWB), compact long wheel base bikes (CLWB), trike and tandem.
