Should I continue commuting with 2 cracked ribs? I went in slightly slower today, 54 minutes vs. 45 and it didn't FEEL any worse. The key word is "feel". I'm not sure if it's screwing anything up internally or interfering with the healing process but it doesn't feel any worse to me.

I'm not a doctor. But if it don't hurt, I'd keep doin' it.

Sure... continue riding as long as your doctor clears it. Some people end up with a BMC Team Issue and a goofy green/yellow riding kit for doing stuff like that. ;)
