My big concern was that because of cycling I was in the best shape of my life at age 51, and I knew the healing process would restrict me from sitting on that US Postal Minimal seat of mine. In 7 weeks I got on the stationary recumbent and started to peddle. I lasted about 10 minutes before I felt some pain. I increased my time by a couple of minutes daily and within a week I spun for about 30 minutes. I got on my bike a surprisingly my bottom did not hurt, but I had no energy and lasted only 5 miles. In less than a week however I was able to go 20 miles and finished 5000 miles for the year. Any questions about prostate cancer I would be glad to answer
