No Mattster, I don't see your post as an intrusion. What you are doing is great! Good luck with it.

I actually went back to my gym yesterday and asked for the clips for their stationary bikes (they were all getting tossed in the floor because no one like using them - imagine that!) anyway, I rode one legged - alternating legs and tried to keep the same pace. Found out my left leg is a lot less coordinated than my right - much stronger but no coordination! - I think I'll work on that bit some more it really made me see how you "spin."

I needed it too. My BF sent me on a road ride that he said was flat - well it was traffic ridden and had two hills so big I had to walk up them!! It was a little defeating but I feel much better after riding for an hour at my gym yesterday!! I'm going out again today!!

Again, thanks to everyone! It's so nice to have experience at your fingertips when you need it!
