Because on the bike you don’t have that impact of foot to ground? That’s why ellipticals are supposed to be easier on your joints than treadmills, right? Bummer that grocery shopping hurts, whatever the reason.

That makes perfect sense! So now I shake my tiny fist at gravity.
The awesome ortho PA told me (and later I checked, and studies back this up) that every 1 pound of body weight lost reduces about 4-6 pounds of pressure on the hips. That's wild, but again, it's gravity, man.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
