I've taken up riding something different - a small tricycle called a "cyco" 
(see http://uk.images.search.yahoo.com/search/images?_adv_prop=image&fr=yfp-t-702&va=%22cyco+cycle%22  )
It's so much fun it'll probably be made illegal - bizarre thing is that even at times when I can't walk I can still pedal.. wheee!
