Yes it is.

Nice round there. Wifey keeps trying to talk me to into buying this little cottage for sale there, but I'm not paying nearly £400K for a 2 bed semi! :biggrin:

If you're sitting in a chair now, slump down a bit, not too much, and you'll be in a recumbent riding position. You have to be really really slumped before you feel the need to have your neck supported, or I do at least. Mostly it's no bother at all...

Arch is dead right here. I've never felt any neck strain.

I'd love to try a recumbent sometime (said the actress to the bishop :smile: ), but I started wondering if there's ever been a bike where you sort of lie down frontwards, pedalling with your knees pointing at the ground, and lying on your chest. Sounds totally uncomfortable, but I bet someone's tried...

Yes there has. Will try and find a reference and pic for you.

There's an even more extreme racing one, if I can find a pic...

I suspect it's not a discipline that many ladies take part in...

I think I once asked Mike Burrows (shameless name drop), if there was any real advantage and he said a guy on one regularly beat him, but then, he was 60 and the other guy was 30....
