My mom lives in Phoenix and I'm in California, so I won't get to ride with her often, if at all. Her inaugural ride was around the block for .7 mile, after which she said it used different muscles than walking and she'd need some time to build up her strength. Her next ride was 4 miles. My brother and one of his kids plan to ride with her this weekend, and many people in the adult community she's in cruise around on bikes, so she should have people to ride with. And maybe, just maybe, my dad will be envious of all the fun she's having and need a bike too!
