Kind of fun. The thing to remember about when you have a hip replacement is you've got to go gentle on the new hip, and this is a low-impact exercise, and it beats running. Obviously, walking is great, but this feels even better because it's really the muscles in the pelvis, in the hip, in the glutes, that support the hip joint. So you gotta make those strong again. And it's nice, it's gentle. Obviously, it encourages a lot of blood flow, and that helps with the healing. And it feels really good, there's no strain. It feels like a lot of fun. Nice, courteous drivers around. Wow, and the great thing is you don't have to keep pedaling all the time if you feel like you need a little rest.</span></p>"},{"layoutId":"full-width-image-with-out-bleed","variants":{},"image":{"assetId":"79kIcy3Gu5p1tK6366LUMi","options":{"backgroundSize":"cover"},"mobileAssetId":"","mobileOptions":{"backgroundSize":"cover"}},"id":"e07c4749-e109-4afc-983a-33af384884ef"},{"layoutId":"paragraph-section","variants":{},"heading":"","body":"<h2><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\">Comfort, Riding Experience &amp; Hill Test</span></h2><p><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\">\"So this has armrests that, if you feel like you need to put your arm down, I'm going to be pulling out.
