The bicyclist was taken to the hospital and later died, LPD said.
The 25-year-old driver of the car stayed at the scene, according to police.
LPD said more information about the bicyclist will not be available until the Boulder County Coroner's Office finishes its investigation and notifies family.
Police said the crash will be thoroughly investigated and that any updates will not be available "until all factors can be reviewed and considered."
A recumbent bicycle is different from a conventional bike in that the rider sits low to the ground with their feet in front of them.
