Fortunately it’s just a filler so I can ride/exercise more than 1 or 2 times a week. Wish I could find a comfortable seat though!

Too bad about the running. I really enjoy getting out in the woods or along empty streets at dusk.

Cycling is also great, though. But you miss the scenery inside. Unless you got one of those landscape wallpapers, of course ;)

I had to switch to a bike. Now I am on call so much that I just bought an indoor bike trainer so i can ride without leaving the house. I do love to run though and miss it a great deal. Very good luck with your 1/2 marathon!
