forgot just how good biking is. they wouldn't let me ride
for weeks the sadists ha ha

Hurrah for you!

I'm putting off going to see the doctor about my painful
knees because I'm worried he'll tell me to stop cycling. I
think I'll just keep on going until something actually
breaks and let them fix it then (plastic knees are quite
good these days, aren't they?) - I figure by that stage I
won't even want to be on my bike.

Pardon me for butting in but if you actually mean that
then you are just being silly; a visit to the doc, ten
days no cycling as opposed to taking an ostrich stance and
refusing to see any problem leading to never being able to
cycle again. Of course you could be kidding in which case
you got me.

Yeah, sorry - just being flippant. I do need to get my
knees looked at, and I am bothered that it might mean a
rest from cycling for a short while, but I'm not really
daft enough to leave it.

I was in a similar situation a few months ago after a colon
resection. I had several false starts before I was really
back on the bike. I'd ride one day, feel good about it, but
then feel tired the next day and not ride. Now I've been
commuting by bicycle steadily for three weeks and riding
increasing distances on weekends. Maybe age played a role in
my case, but I just thought I'd let you know that if you
don't feel as good about biking today as you did yesterday,
just wait a little longer and try again. It takes time to
bounce back from abdominal surgery.

Tangential to this; how good are your doctors' surgeries at
providing bike parking? The waiting room at my local docs
is plastered with posters telling us to get more exercise
but it would appear that they don't actually want you turn
up on a bike.

Same story at the hospital. As far as I could tell from a
string of visits, South Hampshire's biggest hospital has a
total of *3* sheffield stands. Not under cover or anything,
of course.

South Hampshire's biggest hospital has some very good signs
to which you can lock your bike though...
