I broke both wrists about 6 weeks ago, and I'm beginning to get the urge to ride again. My hands aren't ready yet, but they're healing, and I'm just starting physical therapy. The fracture on my left wrist required surgery, too, so it is particularly sore. Getting through life with only 4 fingers is a real pain, although I'm up to 9 now. My right thumb is still in the cast.

Anybody have broken wrists in the past here that could share their experience? How long was it before you were comfortable riding and putting weight on the hands? Did riding help flexibility, or did it make you stiff?

I know we're all different, and every situation is different, but I'd like to hear the stories.
