Very impressed. I'm sure the niggles will fade away soon, but the good feelings will remain.

I decided to walk to work in the morning.
5km walk and it took my about an hour (short legs).

I ended up taking the bus home.

Overall, I did 15K steps that day!

I don’t miss an opportunity to jump on my bike and explore 😉 no pollution and good exercise! It took me 5/6 hours. It was first time cycling from Dundee. I followed cycle path number 1 for the majority of the ride but I felt there were too many cars.

first_621085 last_621085 That's great, yes the cars are a pain and detract fromthe enjoyment for sure.

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'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!

I actually have all 4 of my bikes insured separately. The E-bike is worth over £2,000 is insured by a specific company Bikmo, the hybrid bike as you say I had to declare on my flats contents insurance as it's over £800, the e-mountain bike which was retro fitted is living at my parents house so has been declared & included on their contents policy as an individual item worth £1,500, my old road bike which lives upstairs in my flat on the indoor trainer is covered on my contents as it's only worth about £330 to replace. It's a nightmare when your bike is stolen, even when you use gold standard locks as specified by the insurance company
