I find that stretching and weights have helped a lot with my knee problems. Fixed gears are not good for joints. I find it good for winter riding, and okay for other season riding. Long distances or daily commuting is bad times though. Also, skinny tires can kill you in terms of shock.

These are my bike life lessons thus far.

i really need to rock out on some yoga and get myself back into a state where i can start to work out. at this point, anything high impact just about kills me.

High impact kills me too. I can run RARELY. Mostly I just do eliptical or step class or yoga. But weight lifting... you can start out really low and work your way up. I think it's one of the best things for unhappy muscles... especially if you're going to use them even more with exercise.

you have been totally busy! i understand the desire to relax a bit - slow down and spend more time savouring things instead of bounding off to the next bit of excitement!

as always, when you get in the groove, your do-do-do is overwhelming to read.

I don't know where you find the energy, but good for you!

Actually, you show that you are really private and though you like interacting with folks on LJ, you actually don't want to divulge private information about yourself. There's a difference.
