Re:pain in the butt

Recumbutt is often caused by the seat being too upright. The more you lay it
back, the less weight
is on your butt and more is spread over your entire back. Once you're
comfortable with the
balance, recline the seat little by little and see if the recumbutt goes away.
Oh yeah, it'll also
make the bike a bit faster, especially going downhill.

Good luck,
Jerry

As you go lower, it seems there is more strain on the neck muscles. And at stop signs and signals the balance at stops is tough. I am working on it. Jerry...
