Baby steps in biking - stroke rehab

You may remember a year ago my epic failure at biking;

When I moved to Michigan I resolved to try again and I brought my bike along.  After three months I finally got the bike in shape again and today lowered the seat all the way down, I usually have it 6 inches up to accommodate my long legs. This allowed me to have it like the original walker bikes. Although in my case I just use my right leg.

















I successfully walked my bike the length of the parking lot and back - 400 yards, balancing for long stretches as I rolled along. Next time I'll actually get my right foot on the pedal.  Maybe speed will be in my future again, I want to have the wind blowing thru my helmet and ruffling the sparse hairs on my bald head again.
