Bike time soon!while at work the other day doin nothing as i always do, i got a phone call from my motherSmile saying that i have my opointment at the hospital the next day for the results from a MRI scan on my knee.

At the hospital when i got my results(after waiting an hour)they said they did not find a thing on the MRI, maining my knee is sorted the docter just told me to exercise the knee to get it good and strong again.
My main question was can i ride my bike again after being told countless time that I cannot and the verdict was YES!

i was and still am over the moon about itBig Grin Big Grin Big Grin i can start to ride again, but i have one problem i have no bike or money to get a bike againMadder so what do i do now.....
