I had so many aches and pains my first time, when I stopped exercising at all at 20 weeks. Now I'm 29 weeks, and I feel mostly awesome. I'm really hoping that I can at least keep riding to preschool and back (just three easy miles) until the end. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-riding-a-bike#post-2165754 Mon, 04 May 2015 06:42:01 +0000 blackbird 2165754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: hah, yeah, i think getting on/off is the most awkward/dangerous part ;) Although i look pretty ridiculous, IMO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-riding-a-bike#post-2165738 Mon, 04 May 2015 05:48:17 +0000 Trufflehunter 2165738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stopped riding (was commuting) at about 3 months I think. It was too risky in the city. Not only would it be a potential risk to the baby if I were struck by a car, if I was hospitalised for injury in my pregnancy that would have been crappola. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-riding-a-bike#post-2165245 Sat, 02 May 2015 23:03:02 +0000 sarac 2165245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Still riding at 29 weeks. I plan to stop when it gets uncomfortable, if that ever happens. I've mostly stopped riding on busy streets because I feel so much more vulnerable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-riding-a-bike#post-2165242 Sat, 02 May 2015 22:58:37 +0000 lamariniere 2165242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5.5 months when I lived in NYC. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-riding-a-bike#post-2165056 Sat, 02 May 2015 18:40:36 +0000 Foodnerd81 2165056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: not so much of a risk of falling off those (though I could probably manage). </p> <p>@buttermilk: thanks for the link. That makes me feel a lot better- I would have been bummed if we couldn't take C out in her new bike trailer! I feel like any trail we are taking her in, I'll be safe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-riding-a-bike#post-2165042 Sat, 02 May 2015 18:17:50 +0000 blackbird 2165042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does a recumbent bike at the gym count? Heh </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-riding-a-bike#post-2164959 Sat, 02 May 2015 16:40:22 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2164959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am not a rigorous bike rider, but I have a beach cruiser and take my kids for cruises around the neighborhood and we ride every day when we go on vacation to the beach once a year. I think I rode my cruiser until it cooled down (end of September), so by then I was about 32 weeks pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-riding-a-bike#post-2164934 Sat, 02 May 2015 15:43:21 +0000 buttermilk 2164934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here's a nice article! </p> <p><a href="http://www.bikeradar.com/us/beginners/gear/article/cycling-while-pregnant-tips-and-advice-39306/" rel="nofollow">http://www.bikeradar.com/us/beginners/gear/article/cycling-while-pregnant-tips-and-advice-39306/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-riding-a-bike#post-2164923 Sat, 02 May 2015 15:23:03 +0000 buttermilk 2164923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 26 weeks now. Have still been biking to work every day but it's a very easy and flat 8 min ride. Haven't noticed any problems with that. </p> <p>However, we have done a couple longer (20-30min) rides this week for fun and I'm definitely starting to feel different on my bike. My belly just starts to feel so weird and strained, so I think i may have to cut out those longer rides really soon. But I'm hoping to continue riding to work for as long as I can! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-riding-a-bike#post-2164837 Sat, 02 May 2015 12:16:10 +0000 Freckles 2164837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stopped at about 7 months when my belly kept hitting the weeride seat in front of me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-riding-a-bike#post-2164829 Sat, 02 May 2015 12:03:24 +0000 Foodnerd81 2164829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How long into your pregnancy did you ride a bike? I'll ask the midwives at my first appt but just trying to get an idea. </p> <p>We got a bike trailer for C, planning to hook it to DH's bike and I would ride solo. We would be completely on paved trails. I'm not the best biker in the world by any means, but feel pretty safe on paved paths. Wondering how long I have before it's not advices. </p> <p>I think I've heard once the baby is out of the pelvis and not protected by those bones... But I don't know how that translates to months. </p>
