Yes, @gingerw, I do drive to nearby parks to walk on good weather days. My concern is for those wet, slippery wintry days when, with my osteoporosis, I dare not risk a fall.

My yards are my passion and being outdoors is my favorite place to be. Not fortunate to live by an ocean or even big lake but nature and fresh air do more for my well being than almost anything else.

Friends laugh and say "don't call her until late in the day because she'll be in the yard!" They are right unless high heat drives me inside.

I do really like the idea of the 3 wheel bicycle though because that could be used as aging and neuropathy become more of a problem for feet; however, the pedaling might not be good either down the road on the feet...worth considering/investigating though. Thanks for your response! Take care and stay well.

@feisty76 I have a nice 2 wheel bike but cannot ride it because of my knee issues. And my idea of a three wheel bike, right now, is a CanAm Spyder motorcycle. I almost have my husband convince to go halfsies with me on a used one! When walking I use walking poles in each hand, which help my balance and gives me a nice stride. Beyond that, they can be used very effectively against any dog who would attempt to upset me, and to maintain a socially acceptable distance. Not that at my walk time at sunrise there is anyone else out...
