O.K. I've been reading THR for a couple of years. I've never posted before because I've always found what I needed by just searching the site. You folks are pretty darn smart! Here's the issue. I had my hips (yep, both at once) replaced a year ago. December 17th, 2007. I just turned 40 in July by the way. PM me if you have any questions about hip replacement. My issue is this, I am basically required to work out all of the time, at least every other day. Riding my bike is no impact exercise, I live in Santa Rosa California. Plenty of ghetto, long on trails, great gardening. I get chased by dogs, sometimes gangs (usually 2 at a time) and need an accessible defense measure. Think about biking in California before you answer. I live in Sonoma County Ca, which means no ccw. Unless of course you are rich and or know the Sheriff. I can't move yet but I'm working on that. I'm a fairly accomplished shooter both competition and hunting with rifle, shotgun and pistol/revolver ( I need a safe for all the guns). So think about riding a bike and being able to protect yourself. If I were to make myself a criminal by protecting myself, how would you do it from a bike? I would also be interested in non lethal options too. Thanks all!
p.s. I can do 35 miles on my mountain bike now, lost 35 lbs, not a bad bug out yeah?
