Recumbent Bicycles have been around since the mid-1800's, yet only
recently have they captured the imagination and enthusiasm of riders
and builders. Burley joined the recumbent trend in 1999, with a great
offering of high quality recumbent single-seat bicycles. These Burley
Recumbents are ideal for recreational fitness riding, touring, or
commuting, Many find recumbents faster, more efficient, and far more
comfortable than conventional upright bicycles.
Riding a recumbent is like sitting in a lawn chair. The ergonomic
design of the seating and Burley's adjustable steering mast allow
for minimal weight and pressure on hands, wrists, and shoulders. You
can ride all day, in comfort. And the above-seat steering also provides
a nice place for hanging your favorite sushi-scented air freshner!
Recumbents hold many human-powered speed records due to the aerodynamic
configuration of the bike and the smaller wind target. Many experienced
and fit recumbent riders keep up with (and ultimately pass!) their
high-riding friends.
