I cracked my radius April 17, 3 weeks later I did a 70 mile ride. It will be good for your form, it broke me of the habit of resting on my hands! (At least my left hand.) Actually, I worked 3 weeks before going to the MD, who chewed me out royally, but did nothing more than send me to the orthopod who sent me to PT. They don't want to immobilize your elbow if at all possible. Good luck, and don't despair yet.
