You know what I have been thinking about....I have seen these little bike
engines that are gas or some are electric that fit on a standard bike. I
have been thinking that maybe I could get one of those and ride my bike as
far as I can and then it would take me back home. When I was a fit person
preTM I was a mountain biking fool. I rode a minimum of 25 miles per day
with longer rides even at least twice per week. So I really miss it. I was
thinking that even if I only pedal for a portion of it the biking experience
would still be MINE!
Do a google search for bicycle engine and see what you think,

my bike that I bought when I got TM is sitting in my dining room. I have
not ridden it yet this summer. Maybe once. Its sturdy and sits up
straight so no stress to my neck and arms. I will ride it....soon

I'm sitting at my computer resting from our perfect Labor Day weekend.
I rode a bicycle for 3 to 4 minutes yesterday. Wow!
It was a goal I set for myself and I was determined to do it. Bike riding
was one of the enjoyments TM took from me.
Sunday was the 3 yr anniversary of my last bike ride and I know my
balance problems are in my torso and legs, not in my brain. I borrowed a
small bike that allowed my feet to firmly touch the ground when sitting
on the seat. I took a deep breath and started riding toward 4 people who
thought I was totally nuts. I rode right past them with my head held
high and a grin on my face. I felt like I was flying! I quit as soon as
my muscles started cramping, but who knows what the future holds. I'm
still soaring from that short ride.
