Hi has anyone fitted the latest airless tyres or armour. SHMBO can no longer change tyres or repair punctures the hands just aren’t strong enough. So thinking of airless tyres or inserts available in uk. Last tried the offering of thirty plus years ago awful has there been an improvement. The bike is a modern ebike. Thank you all

Depending how you come through the operation and where any required tissue is harvested from you should be on the bike after a couple of months.
Keep the rides to a easy pace spin don’t push take a gentle year to build up to full fitness on the bike.
After my bypass first couple of days out of hospital walked round the block twice a day after about 10 days walking a mile morning and evening by three weeks walking an hour plus once or twice a day.
So I tried a ride just three miles far to soon I leant my lesson and kept walking for two months by then could manage the bike ok no pulling on the bar or raising the heart rate to high. That was in March by September could manage 50/70 miles twice a week no I’ll effects.
Your doctors may give medication that limits your heart rate if your a racing cyclist this is bad news I could ride happily at 18 mph average but try to hit racing speed just made me feel bad.
But I could still ride two years after the operation I rode the Grand Fondo Campagnolo in Feltre Italy the heart and legs came through great but I was very tired.
Just take recovery at a pace you are comfortable with listen to your body and rest is very important I did find that I tired more easily.
You are sure to have physical changes my sweat glands worked overtime most embarrassing but slowly returned to normal
Twenty plus years later I am still riding anyone got some spare knees this arthritis put the bypass in the shade.
Good luck the cycling fitness will see you through.
