The most important part of that is you are stopping to 'smell the roses'. For me, even when commuting, it's not -just a ride- It's a series of moments in time! Moments and scenes that will never Ever be the same! To capture them with the tech we have is amazing! - David

I actually have all 4 of my bikes insured separately.

I had my knee replacement surgery jus before Halloween, 2017. I did my PT religiously and walked a good bit. I was back on the bike by February 2018, commuting to work, training for century rides and getting back to the daily joy that cycling gives me. You&#39;ll be back on your bike soon enough. Walking and just getting around in daily life will be much better, too! You just gotta get past those first 72 hours after surgery. Good luck with the new knee!
