A recent ACL surgery has me stuck on the bike instead of the rower for the foreseeable future, and I’m a novice. There’s a mirror right next to the bike at my studio, and I am never sure what proper posture looks like on the bike. Is it different than a road bike?
I like having my seat lower than recommended because I’m tall and it feels incredibly high to me to set it up with the seat at hip level (when standing next to the bike), though that’s what I’ve been told is recommended.
I feel my quads working more if my seat is just a bit lower, but in either position my posture looks horrible.
This is awesome info. Thank you so much!

Tbh I’m not in a huge rush to row again, so I haven’t asked, but the biggest push is quad strengthening for me (since I had a quad graft) so biking is the better of the two as a way to build that strength. But if you had a hammy graft, I would think rowing would be a great way to rebuild that. It’s a great overall leg strength machine, so I’m sure it would be great rehab when approved by a PT, but the bike is just sooooo good for ROM and strength.
