Revolution

Managed to get the car started today after charging the battery all day yesterday. Started first time, brakes not seized on either. Moved it outside, that itself is a good thing. I was comfortable enough getting into the car and operating the pedals. It isn't taxed and I have no insurance so I ain't going anywhere in it. It does mean I can tidy the garage up a little bit which I did today. I also managed to climb aboard my bike and back pedalled a few revolutions. It felt fine, stretched my glutes a bit but that'll come. Raising my leg high enough to get over the saddle was the hardest part, not impossible and not painful. I could feel various muscles stretching and being compressed, that feeling is with me no matter how I move at the moment, I think and hope it will disappear as they get used to the movement again. This minor step forward gives me confidence and encouragement, once I get a turbo trainer and have spoken with a physiotherapist I'll be able to start proper pedalling.
