It is great to have you in the group. I for one, love to listen to

the experiences and advice of our more seasoned parents who have

children with autism.

What I am about to say I do not want to take away for all the hard

work that you and other parents have done.

I have to say that I do respect the 's for coming forward and

saying and doing something. If they did not then people would

say, " look at those wealthy people with all the money they could

have done something " I do not think that folks should be judged

by how much fortune or lack of fortune they have. The 's

could have just " taken care of their own " so to speak and NOT made

any attempts to do anything.

I know the 's about as well as I know anyone else on the

list. Whether I agree with how anyone decides to advocate for their

and all autistic children in the community. We are all in it for

our children we are all at different incomes and stages.

Thanks for the welcome . I'm hoping to meet a lot of friends.

I sure do need the support and I hope to be supportive to others. I

just need a place that people will listen to and not be judgemental

of me. People that understand where I'm at right now. Hope you have

a great day.

Get yourself a mountain bike and put some hybrid tires on it. I have

found that biking gives me the kind of interval training we are

looking for, though I do tend to do more than 20 minutes.

I got a bike about six weeks ago. I¹m having problems running, my dog

likes running with me, but my knees couldn¹t handle it. So I got a bike. I

kind of feel like Pee Wee. Anyway, the last bike I had was an orange

Schwinn Varsity in 1973, so this has been quite a stretch for me. The first

thing I did was get the cleats caught and fall on my butt. The second thing

I did was get my cleats caught and fall on the other cheek. So here I am,

47 years old with two scraped knees, two scraped elbows and the one thing

you never forget, I forgot.

Well, tomorrow, I¹m going on a 28 mile ride in the hills with a friend of

mine and if I don¹t get my HIIT¹s, I¹ll go to the gym and do my 20 minutes

on the stair master later in the day. I¹m excited like a little kid, so I¹d

say try a bike, but get some knee pads. ;-)

And there is no basement in the Alamo.

Welcome, Cortney.

Thanks for sharing your story.

Congratulations to your brother too.

I always wonder if it's OK to talk to relatives about BFL...

I think I'll just stock up on the BFL books, then give them away.

The books remain like dormant seeds...available to grow when the

individual factors are right.

You'll get there; one little decision at a time, day after day.

The rest of us are all doing the same

So you have not ridden a bike in years and started out with

clips?...lol....yeah, you'll fall down that way.

I'm trying to convince myself to upgrade to 'clipless' but am worried

about falling.

I just got home from a 34 mile ride, up and down hills, at least three

times I 'knew' I could not go any farther, I was at my 10 for sure!

And it took me three hours...geeze I'm slow!

I got home about an hour ago. We started at 7:15, road 14 miles and stopped

for donuts and coffee (today is my free day) and road back. My friend told

me on the way back that the route (minus the coffee and donuts) was the old

test route that the US Olympic Team used to use back in the 70¹s. I hit my

10 and my 11 and 12 and I hit the wall and bonked and everything else...but

I finished. Some gals went by me at one point and said something that

inferred familiarity with the route and I gasped, ³it¹s my first time!².

They were at the end hootin¹ and hollerin¹ for me. That felt great.

Yes, I¹ve seen those. I¹m pretty sure Doberman Dawn the Dremel guru has a

page about those. Unfortunately, my fierce protection dog is afraid of my

bicycle. He¹s also afraid of the wind, it¹s been windy the last couple of

days and he¹s been pretty much up my butt hiding from the wind.

I use " frog " pedals. They are a clipless that is very easy to use. I was

afraid of clipping pedals too, and the guy at my bike shop recommended

these. I love them. Very very easy to clip in and out.

Yes. I have a friend who is a triathelete, as is her husband who actually

does all the research and she told me to get ³lollipops² and then couldn¹t

tell me any more about them! I found them, but figured out that I had the

wrong shoes and cleats for my SPD¹s, so I switched to a multi-release and

loosened the tension on the pedal and it¹s been good since then. Although

the hills were so steep today, I was deeply concerned ;-)

Are these designed for road bikes? I'm on a mountain bike and I've

heard that people put mt bike pedals on their road bikes, but not the

other way around.

Yeah, but think how much harder the hills would have been without

clipless. On platform pedals you don't get any " pull " when your foot

goes up. And I keep having my feet come off the pedals at

un-fortunate times. I really need to bite the bullet and get clipless.

Hey, Diane, thanks for this link. These look like great pedals and I see they

can be used on road bikes as well. After 5 years of riding clipless I still have

occasional falls from not getting clipped out in time. These look really smooth

and easy. When my current ones need replacing I'm definitely looking into these.

Logic question:

How come clipless pedals are called clipless, since their use depends on the

clip/cleat mechanism? I've pondered this for years.
