I decided I need more exercise even though I clean houses all week and one of those houses has 50 stairs in it. I go there 3 times a week. But.... I want more exercise that is outside in the fresh air. I have been looking online at many bike trails here in Spokane and have decided I am going to eventually ride the 37 miles of the Centennial Trail. It's a beautiful ride along the Spokane River. That is my goal anyway! LOL
I just got the bike today and even though it's friggin freezin and windy outside, I needed to know what it felt like riding a bike again after all these years. I was a little wobbly going out the driveway but then I was ok. I only went to the end of the street and back. I will go a little further each day around the neighborhood till I feel I am ready for the trails. I need to learn how to use the different gears.
The last time I rode a bike was when I was in my early 30's. I went riding with my daughter when she was little and somehow we crashed into each other in front of the Lakewood Police Dept. (This was in S. Cal) I was so embarrassed and scraped up. I haven't ridden since. Sooooo................... I will be riding by myself until I feel it's safe for others to join me. LOL
Anybody else out there riding in their golden years?

Awesome! I ride my bike with my friend who is in her 60's. We love it, and yes, we even ride in teh friggin wind, lol
I still ride my bike. It always makes me feel like a kid. You might want to invest in a more comfortable seat if you are going to ride a lot.
You haven't really enjoyed a great ride until you ride a recumbent bike. It's like sitting in a lawn chair. We used to bike 50 miles or more a day in one without getting a sore tussie! When we stop driving truck and stay put more often, we will be purchasing two more of them. Have fun and enjoy the fresh air!
I still ride mine in the summer. Glad to see you have a helmet. You ride those trails girlfriend.
Hum....that was me.....seems my Google account is signed in for my daughter....rosemary
