No, I haven't and in general cycling is a low impact sport, although not if you fall off!

From my experience, most injuries in cycling tend to be pull's and twists from over extensions or ankles going the wrong way etc.......

So cycling should be better for you. Yes you may have a little discomfort to begin with but should help.

Cheers guys, the thing is the older you get the more injuries you pick up and the longer it takes to heal them, just waiting for the post to drop thru the letterbox now with a ppi claim cheque inside and I'm good to go, still fancy the ribble 7005 sportive so once im brewstered I'll be going to have a look

Still sore mate, takes longer to heal as you get older

Plus the rest of the family have a cold or flu, I don't know which although the youngest had a max temp of 39 deg yesterday and was hallucinating last night.

But she's much better today, everyone else is ill or bruised

Here is a pic of my cobbled together bike

..been doing some light road work.

The orange tape was an after thought that will prob change sometime.

Hopefully a rideout with Essexdave and Dipper

once I shift a few lbs

Orange tape don't look bad, nice contrast.

Is it a Principa? Can't quite read the frame name?
