Re: Riding a bike while pregnant
I ride an exercise bike a few times a week - does that count?
ETA: I never felt contractions or discomfort while riding the exercise bike.

Re: Riding a bike while pregnant
I rode while I was about 9 weeks and we were on Vacation. We rented bikes for the whole family when we were on the Disney Island part of our Disney Cruise.
It was absolutely fine and if my 6yo could have rode more I would have absolutely rode more, it was so much fun.
But leading up to pregnancy I was riding several times a week for about a year and a half. I was doing 15 mile rides in the months leading up to conception, so my body was comfortable riding.
My doctor said it was fine to ride through about 6 months, he said after that I would be "off center" from having a bigger belly and it would be easier to fall.
He also said that if I did fall, I might sustain some bumps and bruises but the baby was pretty well protected in the womb.
That being said I was a big wimp and only rode that one time on vacation! I miss my bike!
