Is there a doctor on the path? There could be, if I had SteadyMD.

SteadyMD is a new one for me. I think it would be nice to have a doctor who is into cycling. Such an MD might be better able to help me take care of my cycling-related health issues, than a doctor who doesn\’t ride bicycles. I also thought that SteadyMD might cost less than the health insurance premiums I pay now.

I asked around a bit about SteadyMD. Someone told me that it\’s intended for serious athletes who want to really focus on their training, \”trying for that extra 2%\”. It isn\’t meant to be a substitute for regular health insurance.

I\’m not into that kind of training, so I\’ll let SteadyMD go. On my current budget, I can\’t afford it on top of my regular health-care premiums. In addition, my present health-care plan includes dental and vision; and  I really need those!

There are still plenty of ways to find out about training, nutrition advice, and so on. We can still go out and ride without costly telemedicine — and hope that, if we crash and get injured, there\’s a doctor on the path with us.
