Hi There,
I'm having a little pain in my foot but want to keep exercising. If I ride a bike instead of taking long walks, will that be o.k.? What I'm wondering is if bicycling is considered weight bearing as walking and jogging are. Thanks for your feedback and have a great week ahead!
 
Cycling is far more easier on your body than running - as with a bike you can take advantage of the gears (travel a longer distance in a shorter time and less energy). As well as cycling I believe that walking is just as beneficial towards healing a bad foot as the impact of the joints onto the ground is far less than running. The important thing is that you pick a comfortable but supportive shoe that you can wear while excercising.
