Have you tried any bikes, sumi? You don't have to have great balance once you get a bit of speed.
Eta: I'd recommend checking women's cruisers [link] if you can get one the right size so you can put a foot down easily, it helps a lot with the falling down anxiety.
MARTHA!!!!
Good god, she's beautiful. And bright. And loyal.
and did people like Rose?
Martha is awesome.
Maybe a recumbent bike, sumi? Though I've never tried one, so I can't say. But I have a recumbent exercise bike, and it's very relaxing. People come over and sit in it and watch TV, though that's partially due to my lack of chairs. Or was, until I got two couches. Two! Couches! Now I never have people over and got rid of cable.
I was not a huge fan of Rose, though I didn't dislike her. I liked her better with Nine than with Ten. I liked Martha a lot.
I like Rose just fine. No one is quite as awesome as Donna, though Martha comes close.
Martha rocked it. But I am totally Dana in this. I liked Rose, but Donna is the best.
Jen's opinion of Rose is similar to mine. I liked her
much
better with Nine than Ten.
I like Rose, but I like Martha and Donna better, too.
For some reason, my memories of Nine are hazy. I need to rewatch.
Donna is so fucking awesome, it amazes me. I like Martha close second best, then...well, I don't dislike Rose, but you'll meet Amy soon enough and I like her more. Of the chick companions, anyway. Trying to rank them with the boys makes things confusing.
