Differences between a recumbant bike and an upright bike?



My gym has both recumbant and upright stationary bikes. Which one is better for you? What are the differences?

I like the upright better. Uses more varied muscles. But gym bike seats are usually horrible so the recumbent version gives more comfort. It also uses a different muscle set. It's better to alternate between the two if you're concerned about getting all the muscles exercised.
the recumbent ones have a lower center of balance. It also puts less pressure on your back.
