However, I hike and bike a lot (weather permitting). I don’t have knee problems, but my left foot really bothers me if I’m not careful. Hiking doesn’t put the same impact on my feet.

As far a biking goes, riding a mountain bike on some of the local trails is like being a kid again. I hit all sorts of jumps and crash into trees all day long, but I have a blast. I just make sure to wear a helmet and knee pads and elbow pads and whatnot and I haven’t been hurt too bad yet.

I’ve been thinking about getting a kayak, but I just haven’t gotten that far.
