Gear story thanks for sharing! My Mom just had the procedure done and just got back on the exercise bike this week. I hope the recovery continues and you reap the benefits of the new hip for many years! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners

Bob: Reads like you're well on the way to complete recovery. Good news. I had a complete hip replacement in 2007. It didn't take but a few months to get back on the bike but it took at least a year to feel 95%. Occasionally I still get a some pain in that area but it comes and goes. I'm cyclin

Rode a nice slow nine miles along the the parks on the ocean here in Honolulu. No hills, though a bit of playing in traffic (as little as possible). I felt great but it was enough for today. The Hunq was the perfect bike though: cushy ride, nothing twitchy. Tomorrow I'll start commuting again, bu

Yet another example of Rivendell versatility. A Hunq with Big Bens for hip re-hab, perfect. Comfy, cushy, stable. Congrats on getting clearance to ride a real bike. I know all too well how the medical world has difficulty relating to patients who have a serious cycling addiction. Exercise r

Terrific. I know I get well testy, when I can't ride for awhile. Enjoy the moment. Your post reminds me of a funny story. I was a hospital chaplain for 13 years as well as a pretty well known biker in Vermont. A friend, and owner of quality bike sop was in a serious bicycling accident

Great news. Today, six weeks after my hip replacement, I've been cleared to ride a real bicycle again. I've actually been on a stationary exercise bicycle since four days after surgery with no problem, but they didn't want me actually out and about until now. The first bike I'll ride will be the H

Hey Bob, It sounds like you have a great outlook post-op. I had a double knee replacement in 2010 and have been ecstatic ever since. I did a Southern Tier ride in 2011, and although I set my goals for a rather unrealistic daily mileage, I still had an awesome time on the ride. I'm currently tra

A buddy of mine had both hips and a shoulder replaced in the past two years. He just placed 10th in his first ever MTB race and has a much more positive outlook on life with the pain gone. Recovery can lead to great things! -J -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Goo
