Yes but--if one hasn't done extensive use of both, then it's a bit difficult to discuss them comparatively, isn't it?

It's very disappointing to see people with the same problems over and over, and the same non-solutions get suggested. And sorry it's true: the most common problems with riding pain that people tend to have on upright bikes, pretty much don't occur with recumbents at all.
A lot of people get hung up on the fact that recumbents tend to cost more--but then, a bicycle that is so uncomfortable that you won't ride it is simply no bargain, at any price. And at least in the US, we've got plenty of those types already.
