	Recumbent bicycle
		A recumbent bicycle is a variety of bicycle which places the rider in a seated or supine[?] position.
		Recumbents are considered to be fast and maneuverable, since the rider can push against the seat back on the "down" stroke of the pedal and the low profile of the rider makes it more aerodynamic.
		A disadvantage of the recumbent cycling position is that a person is unable to stand on ascents and so tends to be slower going uphill than on a conventional bike.
