When learning to ride the bicycle, start finding a level space, clear, free from traffic and obstacles. Select a surface which is paved rather than a loose material like gravel or dirt where it will slip easily. Look for an empty space or parking lot and a wide street. Before starting to practice going uphill, get yourself comfortable first.

Put the bicycle in low or medium gears. If the gears are hub, it can be change while standing still or coasting. Simply release the pressure on the pedal before moving the shifters. With the derailleur gear, riders will remove themselves and change the gear while turning the pedals. This will be better if there is someone to assist for this step since riders will lift the drive wheel upwards or wheel the bikes.

Every manufacturer has their own websites that showcases their products, models of bikes and its advantage.

Adjust the tilts in the chair and the handlebars. Consider this adjustment to be a long term one. The feet must be able to reach the ground as well as the pedals without any hassle.

Give yourself some time in practicing the models before making a decision. That way, clients will get the feeling on how to ride that particular bike.

Every recumbent cycle has a specific terrain type where they can be ridden. Just buying one design may not be a good choice especially when traveling on different terrains such as dirt, gravel and asphalt. For those that trek around mountainside should also purchase a mountain bicycle.
