Bikes: Motobecane Grand Record, Motobecane Super Mirage (3x5 speeds), Motobecane Mirage, Atala (unknown model), Peugeot mixte frame Tourist. A bunch more kids bikes. Most recently a Trek Verve One, tricked up for semi-serious touring.
Two words from someone who has suffered the same fate:
1. Rehab consistently and with instructions from a PT specialist, hopefully with some sports medicine experience
2. BE PATIENT! A serious injury does not necessarily mean your done with cycling.
Addendum:
1. Consider a home exercise bike. Does not need to be anything fancy. I use a simple one would be OK for less then $200; does not need to have fancy metrics. Listen to your body and cycle when your spirit is at its best.
2. Keep to lower gears when you are back on the road.
Good luck!
