Thanks, All. I will check out the UPMC sports center in Pgh. and try to spin more. Unfortunately, I was never a very good interval trainer or sprinter, which is what spinning is to my legs, even before hip replacement. Will work on that!

Another thought is what pedals do you have? Although my knee hasn't been replaced...yet, I do have significant problems and have had three surgeries. I was using SPDs but switched to Speedplay because they had a much larger range of float which allows me optimal positioning.

I use BMX pedals with Teva sticky sole shoes. I think that, with both artificial hips and a knee, I have to reduce my risk of falling as much as possible, as a fall for me would be significantly worse than for someone with their own original parts. I really like them, as I can reposition easily if necessary, and don't worry about a crisis dismount. I also was directed by a TE blog to The Flat-Pedal Revolution Manifesto as I was just getting back riding after the knee replacement, and liked what I read there. Pretty fascinating!
