Is that white box next to the bike your mount/dismount aid?

Thanks! And yes, the white box is like a stepping stool to help me get my right leg over the bike. You can see my walker behind it.

I got them (FREE!! :D ) from cathleen on this site. I love them, and they fit me...well, like a glove! :D

You'll have to ask cathleen where she got them. I just got lucky! I've been using them with my walker to cut down on the hand pain I get. They have a nice big pad on the heel of the hand part that helps so much. Thanks again cathleen, if you are reading this!!

Emily! I forgot about that thread. I'm currently debating if my rasberry Nike Ventoux's will clash with the celeste on my Bianchi...

Emily,

Isn't it amazing how it can HURT to walk, but get on the bike and pedal.......... it's a whole different story! I honestly, truly believe, whether it be mental or physical, that getting on your bike and pedaling 'round and 'round, getting the blood circulating through the bone and injury, is extraordinarily healing, both to the body and to the mind. And one assists the other in healing. Pedal when you are able and keep those positive thoughts flowing.

Inspiring pic, Emily
So great to be a part of your determination, positivity (is that a word?) and inspiration...


Excellent to find an excercise that you happen to have a passion about that doesn't pain you... it will def help in bone and muscle recovery
