We bought Bikes today...
| Sun, 07-22-2007 - 10:49pm |
I have a very bad knee and have a hard time working out. Walking is very painful and Sheila suggested a bike.
I thought it might be painful as well, but if I use my hamstring and heel to peddle it is fine.
We rode to the state park and back today. I am feeling good except for saddle soreness.
We plan to ride every day before Sheila goes to work since she does not start until noon.
I figure this will keep my blood sugar down since it has been out of control.
Maybe it will help me quit smoking or I will add a little ashtray to the hanbdle bars. JK.
It was painful to smoke after riding so long. I had to put my smoke out.
We spent alot of time at the park today and had a great day once again.
Hugs,
Laurie

That's great Laurie! Riding a bike reminds me so much of being a kid. It's like freedom. And it's good if you have bad knees. Do they make ashtrays for handlebars? lol.
Thanks so much for all your sweet thoughts recently. You've been a good friend. Enjoy the bikes and nice weather.
Hugs,

No, they really don't make ashtrays for the handlebars, I just made that up. I told Sheila the
water bottles would hold a perfect size margarita too. Lol. Yeah, I am getting in shape!
I hope you are feeling a bit better about your situation.
Hugs,
Laurie

Do you know that they make the coolest things called recumbent bikes, the ones that can have 3 wheels(if u want) on them and you are practically reclining while riding it, you peddle with your hands and it is so much easier and better on one's back and legs.They can be expensive tho', used ones for $600 to new for $3000. I have a regular bike but it's flat and need to get a pump and helmut. i want to start riding agin soon, so does my partner. have fun...I'll catch up !!! :)

Thats great Laurie!
Sounds cool though.
Yes, we bought helmets too for riding to the park etc.
I hope you can get your bike on the road soon.

Good job, Sister!!!! You and Sheila will be svelte, lithe, fitness machines before the winter sets in. If you even mention the ashtray thing again, I will personally come out there RIP IT OFF YOUR BIKE AND KICK YOUR A## FROM THERE BACK TO THE EAST COAST. DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR!?! Okay, just kidding, too.
I'm proud of you. Remember that they only realy work when you are actually riding on them , not when you are hanging clothes and helmets off of them. lol

Yay to you! The saddle soreness will go away. Keep at it. It builds. One good habit helping another good habit. Next thing you know, you will stop the smoking!

Wouldn't I look silly riding down the street with my clothes flowing from the handlebars.
I promise not to use it as a clothes hanger. Lol.
