The handles are designed so you bend your back when riding, that helps back pain?

Firstly, bending of the handles itself do not address the back pain issue. The seat height relative to the handle bar has to be taken into consideration. Of course, if you bend while riding, it will stress your back as compared to having a straight back. The main reason to have a bent back is to have a better aerodynamic efficiency, thus having a minimal area exposed to the air flow. If back pain is a serious issue, you should rather prefer a straight seat bike (not curved handles). As far as physical exercise is concerned, bent handles give a natural stretching-relaxing for the back.

I rode this bike for 55 minutes yesterday and was up all night with a backache. I usually ride an upright and have never had any back problems on the upright style.

Two handles, these really helped me out, now I have several positions for my hands which makes it easier to do longer rides

FYI The Spine-Worx was designed by a chiropractor to help ease back pain and correct back alignment. Shaped in the form of the human spine, it targets pain in the mid and lower areas of the back. It has two padded bars that sit up from a base. People start out by using it once a day, working up to twice a day unless it causes severe discomfort.

Place a pillow on the side where the rails are lower for your head to rest on. Sit with your back toward the Spine-Worx where the rails are higher. 2 Lay back slowly. Use your arms to brace yourself as you lay your back onto the Spine-Worx. 3 Center your vertebrae in between the two bars. Rest your head on the pillow. 4 Lay perfectly straight or adjust as needed. If you feel uncomfortable or still have some pain in the back, then adjust your legs or arms. 5 Stay in the comfortable position on the Spine-Worx.

Since the seat is wider than most it should provide more support. Not sure if this extra support helps a back problem. however.I would check with your doctor.

I own a "ball chair" that does this. I bought one with a back which I don't like b/c I lean back too often defeating my good posture.

Yes. The seat back is held up by straps and these can be loosened to let the seat back go nearly flat.

I think you would be able to adjust the handle bars and seat so you are comfortable

Yes it's just like a saddle on a horse. Great for back pain. Helps with posture. It's fine for a man unless he has issues with riding a horse using cowboy style saddles.

If you lock the handles by lowering the brakes on the hand grip, it does lock the back wheels

I use it for my back routines. Seated in a upright position and pulling using the upright handles

Handle toward front & curved part to back. There's a slight bump out on the curved part which aligns to your spine. Make sure the curved part fits snug around your butt. Great on a chair, car seat & on a plane - everywhere.

Probably just the engineering of the seat, but it does allow for some ventilation and prevents your back from sticking to the seat. I use it as a handle to pick up the seat and the attached swivel and clamp on hardware that clamps onto the boat seat.

I haven't really experienced lower back pain so I cannot answer, but for someone suffering from hemorrhoids it truly helps when sitting.
