This is so wonderful @bethg94619 .Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! Getting on the walking bike took such courage on your part! I even decided to add a link to information about the

Bike. I think so many people could use it or would like to try it!
If I may ask, what was the cause of your immobility during the pandemic?

LOL I believe that courage is all that's left when defeat isn't an option. I have osteoarthritis of the spine. Diagnosed young, I had plenty of time to decide to make the best of it, but eventually after 5 neck vertebra fused and a couple artificial lumbar disks I'm sort of at the end of surgical interventions. The stenosis above the artificial disks made walking painful and I have intermittent loss of sensation in my legs, so I fell a lot. The Alinker makes it difficult to fall (you can, but you have to almost work at it) and after building my leg strength back, I can spend an entire day up and about. Thank you for asking the question. I hope that answered it sufficiently. Please don't be afraid to ask if you think of anything else - if I can encourage just one person to reclaim their life, it will be worth it!
