Back to work this week after my crash ,after 3 months it'l be hard , I've been riding the road bike for a week now & my old 27" rain bike for about 3 weeks . I rode 45ks on Fri. which included a long climb up to Pyes Pa, my leg seemed to handle it ok but it ached a bit that night ,so I should be able to cope with the commute to work OK.I'm still walking with a limp & find climbing stairs painfull, though climbing vertical steps/ladders seems OK.I had the hip & femur X-rayed last week & all seems to be alright according to the orthopedic specialist who cleared me to return to work, I was impressed with the amount of titanium they've bolted in my leg ,it looks like the bottom half of a golf club in there ! Anyhow I'll see how it all goes but it's certainly great to be back on a real bike again,( as opposed to the exercycle thingy), unfortunatly I missed the best of the summer & will be starting of in the winter. I rode in the peak traffic last week & found it abit unnerving but I'll get used to it again , though I'm scarred of another fall but the specialist assures me that the leg is stonger now than before!

Glad to hear you are back riding.

Take care!

Glad to hear that the new and improved Titanium Enhanced Grey Wolf is back in the saddle.

I think it's natural to be scared of another fall, I know I was in my (slightly less serious than yours) crash last year. I'm not so sure it's a bad thing either. It helps keep us aware of the possibilities we might otherwise overlook.

Glad you're doing so well. I suppose you'll have to get a titanium bike to go with your titanium parts.

Don't I wish, I suspect the bit in my leg cost more than a Lightspeed, fortunatly I did'nt have to pay for it,
thanks for all your good vibes. The Forum has helped me maintain my interest & contact with cycling whilst hobbling around on crutches & feeling down, as you do!
