Had a great time getting there. Didn't ride very fast so I wouldn't sweat. Doctor has a note about me being a cyclist and she started telling me her husband was an avid cyclist too. We had a long chat about health benefits and how not to get prostatitis from your bicycle seat.
If I can possibly do it, I
will ride.
However... if you ride a bike only 1 day a week and enjoy it.. I'm all for that too.
I almost made a mistake riding my bike to the doctor office on the day of the appointment. That morning I was out the door ready to saddle up when it dawn on me that I cannot ride to the doctor office. The appointment was not mine but rather it was my mom's appointment and I was just a driver that day for her. At almost 80 years old, I don't think she would appreciate a Tandem either, so I just went back in the house and looked for my car keys.
