I had knee surgery 4 months ago and am using cycling to rehab my knee. I've been riding 3 months and have fallen in love with it. I've noticed the change in my mind and heart when I ride. My wife says, "you're riding again." Or sometimes she has that resigned look on her face. But, I've developed several friendships while riding or because of it.
I had to wait several months for the dr's to come to the opinion zi needed surgery. So I packed on the pounds, literally. Since beginning to ride, I haven't lost a lot of weight, but, I am really noticing a change in the way my clothes are fiting. So I guess that is another reason to ride.
I want to be around when my daughter gets married.
Guess the basic reason is: I love to ride now!!
