Hiya,
So, I promised my daughter before lockdown, a bike, to help with her knee problems. She kindly reminded me a week or so ago. We went and had a look and found that the shop only had one ladies bike left. I snapped that up and got her fully kitted out. When I went to collect her bike I was guilt driven by the fact that I couldn't let her ride around on her own. I bought a bike there and then. What have you done, said the wife. You've never ridden bike and you're nearly 50. Um....yeah, didn't think of that woops. So, here I am, on day eight and I love it. We ride at least once a day, depending on daughters knee. We just go around the estate and I stop lots for water. I am shaky, steering is getting there and my hands grip the handle bars so tightly I needed to buy gloves lol. I have gel seat and gel shorts and I'm doing well.
Reasons I am doing it is, to lose weight (aren't we all).
Some time with my youngest to help her knee.
Save my left knee hurting.
Thanks for reading,
DE
