I just got my first recumbent bike. It’s a 2009 Volae Century. There is a little learning curve to riding a recumbent bicycle. The steering feels more sensitive.
But I’m liking the experience. The best part of riding a recumbent bicycle is how comfortable it is.

I like this bike very much. Have you tried riding it a longer distance? Does it still feel comfortable? I've never tested a recumbent "bicycle" with less than... 3 wheels (only a recumbent trike and a recumbent quadricycle which were neither comfortable, nor stable). Recumbent bikes are not popular at all in my area and are very hard to find. Probably I will order one just for trying it. There are more chances to see a person riding a unicycle than a recumbent bicycle.

I just bought this bike used last week. I had to clean the chain really good. I also had to buy a new idler pulley that was missing. I also bought a new seat cushion. I adjusted and lubricated all the cables. So this was my first ride. Will be trying to go on a longer ride tomorrow. These recumbent bikes are harder to do tight turns like in confined spaces. But they are comfortable to ride because there is no pressure on your arms and hands like a conventional bicycle. Also going up steep hills is a bit more challenging because you can only use your legs. Maybe this bike will help make my leg muscles stronger to help with unicycling. They are expensive if you buy them new. They start around $2600 here in the US. They are not common to see around in my area.
