Mountain or road bike training after ACL surgery?
I'm about to get my ACL replaced, so I was wondering if training/riding on a mountain bike would be more benficial or on a road bike?
any opinions on this one?
Thanks

Can't see too much difference between the bikes although I would be inclined to use platform pedals no matter what I rode - you don't want to be twisting your knee unecessarily - especially in an emergency.
good luck, hope it goes well. mine has been great ever since.
