    I’m after a recumbent to put on a turbo trainer, noting expensive but needs to have a big enough drive wheel as i’m not sure if my trainer goes below 650c?

    Only other thing is i’m 6ft+ so it needs to be a long one!

    I have owned a recumbent
    I have owned a recumbent static machine in the past but as with all cycle machines its nothing like an actual bike! The feet are too low and i’m trying to replicate the riding position of a racing pedal car where your feet sit higher than your bum. As you can imagine its not easy to get the road miles in on a pedal car! :))

    Is it purely to use indoors?
    Is it purely to use indoors? If that is the case, you’d be better off and cheaper buying a static recumbent bike, like you would see in the gym.

    You can get 650/700 rear wheel trikes, but they are expensive, a two wheel recumbent isn’t great to stick on a turbo, because of the position you sit in, it isn’t very stable for more than a short warm up
