Harder on the knees? Easier?
I'm coming up on 55 years old, I've been riding recumbents for 23 years, commuting and touring (covering nine states and parts of Canada) and have had no problems with knees. As far as mechanical problems, flat tires once in a while and about three broken spokes... that's it.
