I have maybe 40k miles on a recumbent.
Leg and glute workout, no upper body or core. Cardo of course, depending on level of effort. You can be very fast on a bent, climbing aside.
I went bent due to low back injuries. It's easy on the body, in terms of saddle, hand, back, and neck.
Downside is you'll be a bit of an outsider among cyclists.
