I have always loved bike-riding. In high school I rode all over the county, and even won prizes in a couple of bike-a-thons. I didn't ride much in college or grad school, but after getting a real job and starting a family, I got more serious about it. By the mid-2000s I was commuting to downtown #PDX on a recumbent bike, but my knees started hurting persistently. I had severe osteoarthritis in both knees, and the pain would eventually force me to give up cycling. Now, after two decades, I have shiny new knees. There's a very promising recumbent trike on Craigslist and I'm going to look at it tomorrow. I'm so freaking excited.
