Greeting from the high Plains of Wyoming. My problem if you can call it one is I had my left big toe amputated a couple of years ago. This combined with bad knees from years of running ended that form of exercise. Back in the 1980's I was an avid Bicycle tourist. I want to at least return to the bicycle. Trying to decide right now what sort of bike to get, another touring machine or an FX bike. A consideration is along the way I developed shoulder rotaror cuff problems I'll be picking the brains here on what to do pedal, and shoe wise for my left foot. I am coming back. My only regret is I wished i had not given up the bike to go running my knees would be in better shape.
