Here's an interesting one. I have trouble walking because a bad foot injury sustained years ago. The only exercise that I get is by riding my bicycle. I was experiencing some breathing problems recently and my doc put me on some new medications that have improved my breathing and have allowed me to ride my bike again.
I started riding every day and have been feeling much better. It is really the only time that I would get out in the fresh air and sunshine and get some exercise.
Alas, last week I began noticing a problem with my bike and brought it to a repair shop. They diagnosed the problem and I made an appointment for this morning. When I went to drop off the bike I found that they are closed.
So now I'm stuck at home with very few options for outdoor exercise which my doctor says is the best thing I can do for my heart condition.
The problem with the bike has gotten worse over the past week and it is now almost unrideable. The repair shop also said that if I let the problem go too long, it would be impossible to repair.
So how is it not essential that I get my bike repaired?
