I'm looking for advice about recumbents--I know almost nothing about them, but thinking about maybe getting one.

I've got a wonderful Waterford bike that I just love, but I've been having some serious back issues lately. I'm working with a chiropractor and physical therapist, but don't know how much they can do for me.

I've noticed that when I ride the recumbent bike at the gym, I have no back pain afterwards, whereas I do still have pain when I try to ride my road bike. So I'm wondering if a recumbent road bike might be the way to go. So, any words of wisdom from seasoned 'bent riders out there?

Thanks/Wiley
