Long distance walker turns into long-distance cyclist

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch has an article on cyclist Martin de Camilo, whose foot injury prevented from doing long-distance walking and hiking:

Martin de Camilo and her husband had been casual riders before her accident, she says. But being sidelined from walking, they turned to biking in a new way.

"Biking is really good for me, because it doesn't make my foot do the same movement," she says. "It's a different type of exercise altogether. It's a pushing down instead of making my foot bend. It's very, very easy to take biking to the next level versus taking something like walking to the next level."
