Recumbent bikes solve this issue, and they’re also way more aerodynamic. Downside is that they aren’t as good from a safety perspective (on an empty road they’d probably be more safe, but alas).

And they’re not as good at climbing hills, or so I’ve heard.

They have electric recumbants. I want one so badly.

Same, but they’re super expensive.

They’re heavier, which makes climbing harder, but with the right gearing, it shouldn’t be too bad (just slower).

They also preclude standing up in the saddle, for obvious reasons, which could’ve otherwise been helpful sometimes, on the really steep hills.

Yup, the blood drains out of your legs while climbing.
