Hi, On the subject of bicycles, the outdoor variety is best but there are certainly situations that a stationary one is more advisable. I keep one right next to the bed and find that on the "bad back" or rainy days (think Portland) that just a few minutes loosen me up enough to continue walking safely. Often times it is my first activity of the day. \Randy Games to Entertain Your Brain http://www.stargraphics.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
