they're called recumbent trikes/tricycles.

simpy Google that name and you'll get lots of brands/info.

someone here asked the same question but no one ever responded.

though i'm an avid cyclist, i don't can't suggest any brand. don't know anyone who rides one.
though i'd love to have one.

Im a three to four day a week rec cyclist and sometimes see an older gentleman riding one. I don't know what the benefit of lying down and pedaling is?...but good exercise is good exercise!

Good luck.

from what i've been told, it's mainly for those with back problems.

There are many brands - Cat trikes is one, many $$$$ and Sun bikes makes them for less but still over 1500 bux. Look for used on Craigslist or eBay for best prices. Just be aware, most bike shops that sell them do not like working on them. They can be pricey to repair as the chains are 3 x longer than normal and control cables are also longer than normal.
