Does anyone use a push bike with AS?

How does cycling affect AS for worse or better? Tell us your story.

  1. I tried on a stationary bike and was worse off for it. I totally paid for the experience in pain. Since I'm only on paracetamol as my doctor is aware of my pain but refrains from putting me on any type of painkiller. I long for a day where I could just enjoy a bike ride again.

    1. following this form as I would love to hear people's experiences. I really would like to get back cycling but unsure if it would be good or bad for me.


      Have you cycled since having AS?


      All the best,

      1. I miss riding my bike. The last time i tried I was not even able to get on the bike. I remember when I was going to the gym and had a hard time on the bike. Now it all makes sense. I miss riding my bike so much. Especially now that the kids are older, I would give anything to join them on the ride.
