I would like to get back to biking and running.
I must start somewhere.
How about a $5 yard sale gem?
Here it is in my living room.
Some furniture rearrangement was needed, and the missus thinks it's "hideous".
No matter, I needed a push and here it sets every day asking to be used.
Good for me, I will be nudged every day.
The original owner still had the manual and they have the handlebars on backward. I will fix that asap.very hard to ride in this configuration.
Now I know why it was sold.
DUH.
it has a little computer on it that tells me many things.
Mostly I must ride for 50 minutes to equate 100 calories. Who knew?
This will change as my endurance and ability go back up.
TTFN,
S.

I wouldn't pay to much attention to the little computer. Walking for an hour burns around 200+ calories. Just a little bit at a time and before you know it all becomes habit. Good luck. Maybe when you're not using it you can hang some plants from it.
