LA did a great comeback after a much worse condition, so why wouldn't you?

Blows chunks.

Lance was relatively young and in superb physical condition at the onset of his treatment.

Pcad's old and decrepit and now has, instead of is, a PITA.

Pcaddy is good at multi-tasking, so I'm sure he can both *be*, and *have*, a PITA.

The question is whether the rest of Pcad equipment is disabled? Yes it might be TMI but it might get a good reason to give-up cycling.

7 pages on PCad's taint hurting.

All medications have bad side effects. Just wondering what the bad side effects of SYNVISC are. Just suggesting.

You friggin LOVE it.

It's a start.

Can you imagine if you'd bent your crank?

Bent?

And you posted about it here.

How many pages?

Well, Pcad I do wish you the very best. As someone who has jumped through a bunch of hoops to stay on a bike I sympathize fully and will hope for relief if not recovery.

If this doesn't work Di2 is something that could help me with the various convoluted options I've tried for shifting both derailleurs from the right side of my bars. Just say'n.

You would have the satisfaction of getting me off Campy and onto your beloved Dura Achee as well.

You milk it for what you can, then you milk it some more.

Then at my age, you forgot you already posted about it, and you do it again.

Still think a recumbent beats no bike any time. Peter you are not old and fat and having nothing to prove, ride and enjoy. I know that you are still faster than me but I have fun and that it the point.

If I was off a traditional bike for medical reasons I might consider it, but I don't think I could get into cycling in that position. Hey, until you try it, you never know. But it's so terminally Fredly I don't think I could ever accept it. Hell, I think I might roller blade first. If I do that, I'll be sure to do it on MUPs, and I will try to impede poser Freds as much as possible with my wide-swinging Pcad Speedskater Form.

This is like speculating that a runner with first time shin splints will never run again. It's far more likely I'll be cycling again later this year.

Yes it is very Fred but if it keeps you in shape who gives a s h it. At our age we don't have to care what others think, F them and be happy.

PS I hate the censor feature on this site, why can't we say S H I T?

I just don't think I'd like that riding position. I do like walking. We walked the dog today, a couple of miles, up and down hills. Not the workout a bike ride is, but any exercise makes me feel better (my sore end notwithstanding). Once my pain calms down the walking should not aggravate it.

Anyhow.....Im back after an little time away to do some business...

I hope you get better soon. I have one of those Brooks Imperials sitting in my basement not doing anything if you want to give it a try and see if it helps your problem.

BTW ... Did you really think I was gonna to tell you who I was when I met you on that ride ?

"Oh I work for the Pусская мафияand I provide financial services to organizations and people who are unable to ....." burp ... gimme a break....

I agree. In any case, I hope you heal and feel better quickly.

The ride position is low which is not great but it is more areo. I would rather ride a real bike but I rather be alive than dead and wonder how fast you could get a recumbent to go? To me a recumbent is different and interesting I would want to try one just to see what it is like.

Walking the dog with the wife is nice but it is not serious exercise.

If I were a Mod, I'd ban you immediately.

Well, with all the free time you will have off the bike, why not volunteer to be a mod?
