Actually walking got me back into biking again, courtesy of plantar fasciitis.

Last april I started walking as a form of exercise. By the end of summer I
was going 28-40 miles per week. ( I had been a 5k jogger for a number
of years...but my 70 year old body cannot not handle running any more.)

In early October my heel started hurting and by Oct 12 I had to quit
walking due to pain.

Desperate to do something I bought a Specialized Sequoia Comp in early Nov.

I can bike without heel pain which is good but I still have a problem
with the heel so I guess I am going to have to visit an orthopedic
doctor soon....

Sigh, getting old is hell...
