Road bike riding.

[Pebs]

Thanks to knackered achilles I havent been running for aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaages, in fact I havent been to the gym for aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaages. Months and months, which is daft considering I pay a small fortune a month.

Anyway, running is off the cards for the forseeable and as a result I have no inclination to go to the gym....I mainly used to run and have PT sessions, now I cant do one and can't afford the other.

I'm thinking about starting to do some road biking. I like cycling and I have a lot of countryside around here that I can go and explore without having to do battle with too much traffic. Does anyone else do it? And does anyone have any ideas if this will be lower impact on achilles than running. In my minds eye I can't see how it can be as bad, but I'm no expert. I can invest in a reasonable bike as I'll be dropping the gym membership.

I hate being not-fit again
