That’s right. Any movement, whether by car, bicycle or on foot is restricted to 
going to buy food, going to the pharmacy etc. No exercise allowed. I have 
bought a device from Wiggle that allows me to essentially convert a regular 
bike to a stationary exercise bike. So that is what my cycling is these days, 
50 minutes of intense pedalling on the front porch. Good aerobic exercise but 
not much fun.

Cheers,
Nathan
