I had bilateral knee replacement in Feb 2020, just before Covid. My doctor told me that biking was good for my knees. I just did 23 miles today. I'll be 70 next month, and I recently lost 35 pounds from 165 to 130. I feel the best I've felt in years!

I like cycling but wanted to be more confident on roads and able to do repairs. So I joined a couple of events and have been learning to repair donated bikes for charity which are given to people t... read more

Hi Anna, I know the feeling. It can be really tough to get people involved. Have you tried asking them why they're not interested? Perhaps you could arrange a lunchtime ride and then help folks create a profile and log the ride right then and there? Is there another organization you could try competing with? Maybe that would help stoke the flame a little. Props to you for continuing to try... they'll come around!
