Nobody would expect someone who was laid up in bed for 6 months to be able to ride a bike 50 miles. However people forget that we need to maintain basic mental skills through regular use (exercise) or they go away. I never cease to be amazed (just an figure of speech, actually I'm used to it) by how dependent on their gadgets people have gotten.
