When I was in my middle to late 20's, I broke my back and gave up horses. They had taken up all my time and attention. Shortly, thereafter, my husband to be took up mountain biking and shortly thereafter that I took up biking thinking it would be good therapy! It was and here I am 20 years later, no horses but a huge stable of bikes!

Actually, they are less expensive than horses, because there are no vet bills and no feeding bills; and boarding bills if you have to pay that. I can't imagine riding both horses and bikes? I wouldn't be able to find that much time and work too!
