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)

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.

An extremely boring design for a bicycle. Unlike traditional bicycles, which feature an upright, centered, and active riding position, recumbent bicycles have riders sit on their respective asses. The sole benefit of a recumbent bicycle is aerodynamics. Bunnyhops, cutties, drifts, and manuals, or in other words, any technique remotely fun or interesting on a bicycle is impossible on a recumbent.
Hey Tom, if you ever catch me riding a recumbent, you have permission to beat my ass.

2. A Recumbent bicycle rider who never says "on your left" and risks your life with their reckless pseudo-biking.
I nearly crashed my bike yesterday when a couple of recumbetards almost ran me off the bike path!
