The 6200 recumbent bike is manufactured by New Balance. Stationary recumbent bicycles, such as the New Balance 6200, provide ergonomic support because the rider is seated in a slightly reclined position. An upright bicycle distributes weight unevenly. A recumbent bike distributes the rider's weight over his back and buttocks, reducing strain.
