>I actually rode my bike several miles per day through my seventh month (and I was quite large due to a big baby and fibroids) and stopped only because the weather had turned icy and snowy here in Connecticut. I didn't have any balance problems, but I used to be a very experienced, advanced rider in competition. However, if you aren't as experienced, I would urge caution in bike riding at a late date. Walking and swimming as probably best at this point.
