recumbutt

Shotened form of Recumbent butt

I like the Bike-E but it gives me Recumbutt after a few hours

Recumbent butt

Pain in the gluteous maximus muscles caused by riding certain recumbent bicycles at fast speeds. This problem is most common with Bike-E tyre bikes with a more upright seat back which places more of the riders weight onto the gluteous maximus muscles.

I like the Bike-E but it gives me Recumbent butt after a few hours.

recumbent

A pedal bicycle or tricycle ridden in a seated or laying down position. A recumbent is far more comfortable than the conventinal upright bicycle and racing models have far supirior aerodynamics allowing them to attain much higher speeds for a given effort level. Recumbents were banned from major races in 1934 due to the fact they give the riders an unfair advantage.

Recumbents are commonly referred to as 'bents for short (don't forget the apostrophe)

I am going for a ride on my recumbent.
