I prefer to use the recumbent bikes because they are more comfortable, but are there more benefits to using one over the other?
Is there any difference between an upright and recumbent stationary bike?

Recumbent bikes are more back friendly and take less weight off the bottom bones. Over all you can include more muscle groups on an upright which allows you to use more hamstrings and gluteals as well as some weight bearing on the arms/shoulders depending on the bike.
Cardio wise you can push yourself as much as you want on either.
Both are nice fat burning machines at the right level.
Whichever one gets the job done for you is better than NONE!!
