Walking as a Second Language

A lot of cyclists, including myself, love to walk as an alternate form of aerobic exercise. Ken Kifer, before his tragic passing, listed walking mileage right next to his bicycling mileage. Most of my cycling friends love to walk, also.

For me (and I know this sounds strange) sometimes I just get tired of cycling. About once every year or so, I look at the Black Knight bike and say "Ugh!" It's probably because I'm a little older (almost 62) and have been cycling for sooooooo long and sooooooo far. And that's when I break out my walking shoes and start up my walking program. But then about two months later, I look at the walking shoes and say "Ugh!!" and get back on the bike, and wonder why I stopped riding in the first place.

Well, last week I looked at the bike and said "Ugh!" The thought of getting on the machine just didn't turn me on. So, I'm back to walking for a while.

So here's a thread for us cyclists that love to walk, too. We can talk about shoes and hills and walking surfaces and the pounding walking gives our knees lol . . . Questions and answers, experiences, likes and dislikes . . .

It's great to know two languages - Bicycling and Walking.
