We must be on similar latitudes, as the rain is falling here as well. Having had two lumbar spine surgeries as well as the right knee, I know that the recovery period is one of the most down times for a rider. Yet, will come the day that inflammation releases its grasp on that last nerve and you once again have confidence. Have a bicycle? That is my other two-wheeled activity which keeps me in some semblance of shape for the motorized kind.

Bicycle has been the only physical therapy that's kept me mobile for 30 years. I'm convinced it's the only reason I haven't had to have surgery myself, both knees and lower back. Also, I can't overstate how much benefit in stiffness and joint pain I found in eliminating sugar and reducing carbs from my diet.

When I sustained a serious knee injury back in my military days the two things that brought me back: Swimming and treading water and my bicycle.
