drink beer.

Seriously though, I broke BOTH wrists in a cycling accident and I was off the bike for 4 months, and then it was November and too cold to really get back into it so I really waited until spring. While I still had the casts on I'd do walks on the same loop that I frequently ride, see some of the same people I'd usually see while riding, and at least feel like I'm still part of the cycling crowd. But that was just wrists, it didn't impact the rest of my body so I was pretty free to do that.
