Hi there! I've been lurking a while -- picking up tips. Glad there is a place for women cyclists -- and glad others who learn to ride as adults get addicted too! Just learned to ride this summer -- at 40. Now addicted -- ride everywhere, all hours (yes, I have lights). Hubby is so awesome and supportive.(and willingly installs every cute accessory I have to have on the bike!)

Unfortunately had a bad accident about 2 weeks ago. Bruised knee bones, and injured a disc. I feel better, but want to know if anyone else has experience/recommendation on biking while recuperating esp with the disc injury. I have been used to biking at least 7 - 12 miles, 5-6 days a week.

Thanks all!
