    I miss riding a bike. I used to ride or [inline] skate or skate[board] everywhere as my primary modes of transport.

    My oncologist told me that my osteopenia and osteolytic lesions mean that I must never ride a bike again, or skate, or even jog, in case of pathologic fractures.

    If you have any suggestions, they’d be welcome.

      No suggestions because I’m not your doctor and have no idea what would or would not be a potential risk. Just wanna say that damn, that sucks. I really feel for you.

      You should definitely ask a qualified expert. I would think swimming might be a good option though. As well as being good exercise it can also be really pleasant and relaxing to just float and play in the water.

      Always follow yourdoctors advice. There is a lot of snake oil out there that sounds good but will kill you.
