Return to bike after bypass
Having had a double bypass 3 weeks ago I am wondering how soon anyone has jumped back on their bike after their surgery. My doc suggested that I wait for a couple of months not because of my inability to push myself, but his concern is any crash. He's worried that the chest needs at least that amount of time to heal. I am inclined to go with his judgement but really think that the excerise value could equal or be greater then the risk. (of course that means riding in an area that minimizes the risk of a crash) Any thoughts?
