Like you I was once an avid bicyclist. I would like to get a recumbent stationary bike which I believe would be the safest way to get that kind of exercise. Have you considered a recumbent bike?

No, my town has lots of hills and I live on the edge of 200 acres of state forest which makes for nice walking. I’m thinking these days I’m personally better served by walking due to increasing neuropathy. And, my dog probably agrees!

Perhaps @ericd47 or someone else on this chat can advice. I bet you could take one for a spin at your local bike shop.

@catharbert, I used to have a recumbent exercise bike that was a combination bike and elliptical machine but I got rid of it and bought a Teeter FreeStep Cross Trainer which also exercises the arms which my recumbent bike didn't do. I really like it and use it 30 to 60 minutes most days. If the weather is really nice, I will get my walking sticks out and go for a mile or so walk but the bike is much easier and I can use it rain or shine.
