The standard bicycle position puts the rider at an increased risk of injury in several ways. In contrast, the recumbent Cruzbike design eliminates or reduces these risks. The Cruzbike appeals to bicyclists who want to avoid injury... and those already injured and unable to ride a regular bike without pain.

We've had favorable reports from people with various musculoskeletal problems including old fractures, disk herniations, lower back pain, and arthritis of the shoulder, knee, ankle, wrist, and neck; and from people recovering from surgery such as ACL reconstruction or spinal fusion.
