    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

    • 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.
