We all know you can’t underestimate the benefits of exercise. (And well..I’m not afraid to hop on the bike wearing bedsocks and jarmies!)

Just balancing on the seat was at first a little daunting, as I wasn’t able to put my hands on the handlebars and push any weight down through my arms.

Hey – I’m working on my fitness, not image!

I started out with rides of just 2-3 minutes each day and within a couple of weeks was doing 10-20 minutes every other day. If I can’t get in the pool – the bike will have to do.
