I've been looking at bicycles a lot recently because I was looking for a new one. Maybe later with more time I'll try a better one. I feel like it should be possible to get a pretty good result.
High and low handlebars as well as high and low pedals (bottom bracket).
There are also compact long wheelbase, short wheelbase, trikes with either 2 wheels in the front or rear, and 4 wheelers.
I prefer high handlebars so I have an easier time pushing the bike when needed, a place to mount a speedometer, a mirror, and arm pits gets sweater with low handlebars. I've also been thrown up off the seat when I hit a hump in the road. If I was riding a low handlebar bike I'm pretty sure I would have crashed due to losing my grip on the bike.
In all seriousness, I always wanted to try one of those things. I was riding a $50 (admittedly awesome) mountain bike fixed up by the local bike co-op, so seeing the douchebags (NO OFFENSE) ride by on these made me a little sick. But because I'm poor. But also because COME ON REALLY?
No offense taken. They do have compromises, slow speed instability for the one I owned, and truthfully I prefer a mountain bike but conventional bikes are too uncomfortable for me.
If you do get the chance to try one, don't be timid. Push hard on the pedal and get some speed. It will be much easier to steer.
One of the most annoying things about riding a recumbent for me is the attention they generate. I've been pulled over by a cop because he wanted to look at the bike. One day a dipstick stopped in a crosswalk, holding up traffic, to look at the bike.
They look awesome. I have a terrible back, so my hatred was always pure envy. It seems like it'd be such a luxurious way to ride, and I love bike riding, so it might honestly be my ideal. Maybe someday.

Quit drawing titties & dicks & learn some art....and bring that boy Leonardo so that he learns something as well.
Kids these days!
The main thing I noticed was the seat, which I messed up on mine, too. In reality, it would be a little more to the left, sitting down in that tube that's part of the frame (I think?), as opposed to just plopped on top. I did the exact same thing with mine, and realized my mistake after looking at everyone else's.
Luckily for me, Iām had experience on servicing a mountain bike before so that I know what a bike should look like. I couldāve done a better job by adding the disc brakes and rear derailleur. But I couldnāt be bothered to since illustrating on a phone screen is tough :/.
Really nice. After seeing all of the good ones you guys did, I think my bikes will be better in the future. Start with two triangles, bike is on the middle triangle line, etc...

Surely after making that, someone would've been like, "what if we added TWO to the back?" Right? I just mean: why was this even a thing!?

For being mandatory where I live, it sure is odd literally no one decided to draw some reflectors on the spokes.

You can understand it's a bike without those. Like a stick figure, no eyes or nose are necessary for you to know what it is.

The style is called Recumbent. Specifically, long wheel base above seat steering.
Humanius@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 354d
Aren't the handlebars usually below the seat on a recumbent bike?Edit: I stand corrected. Apparently there are a bunch of recumbent bikes with high handlebars
RodgeGrabTheCat@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 353d
