Bicycles

What to know about exercise bicycles

When I was growing up, my bike was my second form of transportation after walking.

My friends and I explored our town with our bikes, imagining we would find amazing places. We rarely did, but the sense of adventure was still excellent.

I am now much older, and my balance on the bike is a little iffier.

Part of this is due to a knee injury several years ago. That injury sidelined me from many activities.

But with the help of physical therapy and an introduction to the recumbent exercise bicycle, I became mobile once more.

I had never paid attention to exercise bicycles when I went to gyms to get my health in shape.

I saw and used the stationary bikes that looked like regular bikes but didn’t go anywhere. I don’t remember seeing the recumbent bicycles. But that doesn’t mean they didn’t exist, only that I wasn’t going to gyms that catered to older individuals like me.
