We have been debating about buying bicycles for awhile. There were 2 main questions; could Diana's knees handle biking, and where would we put them while we are on the move from campground to campground? To address the first question we decided to rent bikes while we were in Mesa. Sounds simple enough! As we checked into it it was going to cost $100 a week to rent each bike. So then we thought we could buy 2 cheap bikes at Walmart or Target. But then we looked on Craig's list. We each found a bike we liked and together they were less than renting. Naturally we have upgraded a few things so the bikes have now become money pits! Who would have thought that?!
We have been on a few rides and the knee issue seems to be OK. Of course we are in Mesa, AZ and it is pretty flat here. We'll continue to ride regularly and build up some leg strength.
The bikes do fit in the back of the Jeep so that is where they will be as we travel. We are hoping that as we get to state and national parks we can ride
