"I need to get healthy, but I don't like walking," Cowell remarked, adding that he won't use a standard bicycle because of steep slopes. "I ride it every day," he said. "I work out"

Two years ago, Cowell hurt his back riding his $20,000 bike outside his Malibu residence. After the accident, the record executive underwent a six-hour surgery to fix his spine with a metal rod.

This year, Cowell's second bike accident damaged his arm. In February, he told the Daily Mail, "I'm a nutter." Next time, I'll wear a helmet.
