Thanks ......I am either going to get a Schwinn recumbent bike or this new machine I saw.....the Teeter Freestep. the Freestep is supposed to be good for not aggravating knees and hips but still give you a good workout. My husband also needs to exercise and has similar problems to me, so this would help us both if we will use it.

I do have one of those peddler machines that will sit in front of a chair and let you peddle, and I can use it without knee pain. It is one of those folding types, but I bought it several years ago for a trial basis before I bought something more expensive.

Anyway, wish me luck! I will post what I end up with.
