About using the bike: 1) it strengthens the lower quads, which can help prevent knee pain 2) I find that if I am doing a "race/long run" over a weekend, going on a short ride (low gear, high rpm) the afternoon after the race helps get rid of some of the next day sorness. As far as swimming: I love it! I typically get 4-5 swims a week, going between 2000 and 4000 yds per swim. ollie Post a reply on the Bulletin Board
