Recumbent Bike - Sort of

For about a week now I have been asking my Physical Therapist if i could try his recumbent bike.
Well yesterday, he agreed and let me try it. Mistake!! Every turn of the pedal was very painful.

But today i decided i needed to get on track and using the advice of my PT, i 'converted' my upright
stationary bike into a recumbent by placing a folding chair behind it and reaching out to the pedals.
It actually worked very well, but was still painful for the first 10 minutes or so.
I held on so tight that my fingers started aching.
The result, 1.5 miles in 18 minutes, and i am thrilled with that. Yes, my knee is SORE!!
