I gave up bicycling due to lower back pain. I spent a butt-load of money on a decent bike once and went to all the trouble to adjust it several times to my frame, but despite this it never got comfortable for me. I grew up bicycling and was not happy to have to give it up, but when it got to the point that I could hardly walk erect after going 5 lousy miles, I gave it to my daughter and found something else to do. I thought I might try a recumbent bike, but after getting on a stationary execise model once, I discovered that too was too uncomfortable to manage.

It sucks getting older.
