Nor does it help when I've crashed twice just going to and from the gym. On the cycleway . . .
Yea, definitely a different experience, and certainly safer. I'm trying to transition to other forms of exercise other than my usual 20 mile 2000 foot daily ride, so spinning (as well as swimming) might be in the cards soon as well.
