The Oldsters Go Cycling

One would tend to think that cycling would not be a conveyance for two seniors with mobility problems, but it worked for us when we got out the bikes for the first time in two years.

As you know from my relentless whinging, I have a bit of a foot problem, and you may also recall that Sue took a recent tumble that has left her ankle a little too sore to walk far.

We are not generally unhealthy or incapacitated; it's just that walking any sort of distance is currently problematic.

Sue wondered if we could cycle, not for long distances but enough to get to the park around the corner.

We made it to the bench not too far inside the park.

The bench overlooks the river. No, we don't see much river through the summer foliage, but we see some.

We consumed a little lunch on the bench, and, for a change, we took a selfie.

Afterward, we rode farther along the trail that you see behind us in the above photo. 

While I can't foresee us making a major trek, cycling does give us an option. We'll keep it short and close while we monitor how we're adapting. If it goes well, we might go a little farther afield but not very far, I don't think.
