jttaurus 0 Posted May 11, 2006 :faint: I have decided I'm not getting a bike. I figure with the herniated disc and the summer heat I might as well go to the Gym and exercise in the ac. I'd like to walk at the track but i do have some safety concerns with out door walking, like getting run over because there's no sidewalks. IS anyone else getting a bike? I really would love to have one. Maybe at another date. I don't Celebrate mother's day so I'm not looking for any gifts for that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wavydaby 1 Posted May 11, 2006 Should you even ride a bike with a herniated disc? The hard seat and the funky bending over angle? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tricia K. 0 Posted May 11, 2006 Wal-mart sells the recumbant bike below for $108.67. I have one and I love it. This one is much better for those with back problems. http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=4213117 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nana~ 4 Posted May 11, 2006 I bought a bike a month before I was banded, a Old time cruiser no gears just a plain jane lovely cherry red and chrome bike. I love it! I rode my bike 5 days after banding 1 mile in the am and 1 in the pm taking the kids to school. I also had a recumbant bike that folded up into a cross trainer, I didnt use it that much and got rid of it. (no room) In the summer I make it part of my workout I walk, ride, Skate, and swim. The hubby and I have been thinking rejoining golds gym, but it's a 20 mile drive and gas is high high high! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DOC 0 Posted May 11, 2006 You can join a gym, ride your bike, swimming, running, walking.... it all works if you do it! I started with something free first.... walking. After I made a commitment to walk everyday and followed through, I spent the money and joined a gym. Now 4 months banded I go to the gym 4 times a week and in between I do laps in the pool or ride my bike ouside for about 3 or 4 miles..... I love excersise now......

Dragonwillow 0 Posted May 11, 2006 I have a bike...I got it marked down at target ...I think about 35 dollars. I haven't rode it much though. Maybe this summer I could take the kids to the park to ride? Karah's still not very fast, and you'd get run over ridding in OUR neighborhood. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sunsett 2 Posted May 11, 2006 I have a bike and everyday I say I'm gonna ride it again. The past week and a half I have been terrible with exercise of any type. Good luck. I like the look of that Walmart bike. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MyKdsDad 1 Posted May 13, 2006 Got mine about three years ago. It has an 80 cubic inch motor, leather saddlebags and two wheels. It says HARLEY-DAVIDSON on the tank and gives out "good vibrations". See it and 49,999 like it at the Republic of Texas Motorcycle Rally in Austin, TX...the first weekend in June. hehehe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
