As millions around the world watch the Tour de France, it's a reminder that some of the most inspiring cycling stories never happen on a professional race course—they happen after people overcome years of joint pain.
Ten years after her knee replacement, Cheryl Jensen continues to prove what's possible. This year alone, she completed a 7-day cycling trip through Sardinia, spent two weeks backcountry skiing in Canada, plays pickleball several times a week, enjoys golf, and is preparing to run the Vail Hillclimb, once again.
She's not alone.
Former patient Willie Winters fulfilled his dream of riding his bicycle across America after hip replacement. While another patient, Michael Hill, returned to cycling after experiencing firsthand the difference minimally invasive surgery can make. Countless others have found their way back to mountain biking, recreational rides, and adventures they once believed were over.
One patient who knows that feeling is President George W. Bush, who shared:
"Dr. Berger took an old guy like me who could barely walk—much less ride a bike—and shortly after the operation, I was on a bike riding like a madman."
For more than 30 years, my goal has never simply been replacing hips and knees; it's been helping people get back to living.
Whether your finish line is competing in great adventures like the Tour de France or a weekend ride with family, movement matters.
