I road and mountain biked a lot. I think as a result my neck is wrecked. X-rays, MRI, etc indicate a lot of bad things, so if I ride a road or mountain bike now, I can last about 5 minutes before the pain in my neck is unbearable. My shoulders are toast, too, not sure if that's from biking, but could be the pounding from the handlebars. I think a recumbent is the answer, especially after talking to a recumbent rider who indicated he switched because his neck was also in bad shape.
To my question, can you recommend a recumbent bike at $2000 or under? I know that's on the low end, but not ready to sink 5k in one. A two-wheel or a trike, not sure which is better? And how do you transport them if you only have a hatchback? Thanks.
