Yep, it's an excellent bike. Pity I barely use it...

The thing I find really strange is that a low impact exercise like riding a bike absolutely kills my knee, and walking seems to help it. Who would have thought? I started walking about three weeks ago and I have had absolutely no pain...

Got any recommendations on a good treadmill? I've heard that manual treadmills are better than motorized when it comes to calories burned, but the decks are really small on the manual treadmills. Nordic Track used to make a manual one (the 5000 series I think) and I would think that would be good... however I'm not sure how smooth the manual treadmills are.

I'd like to work up to walking an hour a day. What treadmill would you recommend? And if I get a motorized one, how many horses is adequate for that amount of time every day? My mom bought a cheap treadmill a while back, and of course the motor burned out really quick...

Any suggestions?
