The few local cyclists here have managed to get a collegiate event in the spring. They're going to shoot a promo for it tomorrow and they need every road bike in town for it. I'll be there.
I just checked, I can fit my foot into my cycling shoe. I also won't ride to the shoot. It'll probably be 5 whole miles of riding but it's a start. Depending on how it goes, I'll decide if I can start riding again.
Still can't go back to work though, since I'm mostly on my feet all day (rn).
