A member asked:
I want to know what is the difference between stationary and recumbent exercise bikes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Similar: They are very similar. Stationary bikes are more similar to a typical bicycle while a recumbent bike allows you to sit down in a chair with a back. Some patients find sitting in a "chair" is more comfortable to exercise in. Test out each to find what works for you!
