How to Try Out a Recumbent?

The cost is considerable and I wouldn't want to buy one without

I would say that is a /very/ sound policy. Even if you already you know
you like a particular recumbent I would suggest try before you buy on
any other sort, as seat comfort for /your/ body, riding position etc.
all vary quite considerably. Certainly more than is the case on upright
bikes, and with many bespoke seat designs (and more to the point,
bespoke fixings for them) it isn't just a case of changing to a seat you
know you like.
