Liz Torres

I have a stationary bike that I do twice a week, but I'm not really serious about it. I just do it until I get tired. And then I have a step thing that I really hate. It's hard on your knees.

We still have quite a few problems with the vibration and this means that we can't use the bike to its full potential and make fast lap times.

For that is exactly what we are now!
