Sadly with some, no matter how much you expose the benefits of exercise ( particularly cycling ) they still perceive that the magic pain relief tablet is the only thing that will do the job . Cycling is safe in overdosage , doesn’t ruin your kidneys with prolonged over use , is way cheaper, and has all the other benefits attached . Only thing it won’t do is get you quite as high as some of our medications , but I still find cycling a great mood elevator which is quite sufficient for me !!

Sorry to hear about your injuries. I have a dodgy knee and a very erratic back which both give me quite a bit of gyp. While walking for long distances can be quite uncomfortable at times, I find the one thing that I can do comfortably with both is bike and that means that I can keep moving and keep exercising.
