I have to say how amazed I am at all the biking. I don't mind walking too much (read that can tolerate) but I usually end up with a hurt foot after a couple of months or so and have to stop. Several years ago my family doctor really encouraged me to find an exercise I like (there really aren't any), so we explored a list. She asked me what did I like to do as a kid, besides play? I said swinging on swings and biking. She suggested I look for a bike I liked; I like the old manual type with foot brakes. I biked until the weather got too hot (in the 90's), but I never managed to get very far. I have only biked a few times since then. Even at my best I only managed to learn to balance again and bike my block and back home. That is a far cry from biking around the neighborhood with the wind blowing your hair. So, I am still looking for something exercise wise to do.

Any suggestions?
