Re: Cycling after Prostatectomy or brachytherapy

Had RARP 3 weeks ago. It the first time I've had it done but not the first time I've needed to 'come back' from serious injury, either but surgery or by my own efforts, confusing aspiration for ability. I want to get back asap but I not taking any chances with this recovery , which is by no means the worst but the chances of effecting the long term by too much/to soon are the greatest. So the plan is spend a year riding recumbants on and off road. I wondered if anyone had explored that option.

Only ever riden 'Bent' once before, a tandem, and ended up in a Bush in Dulwich Park. Due to Pilot error.

Re: training with a cast on hand/wrist ?

I had a CMC joint replacement a couple of years ago. Had a full cast then a braces decreasing down from full imobilation over 6 weeks. Could not cycle for 4 weeks in case increased HR put healing site under pressure. Even when I could cycle it was impossible to hold bars. Went to gym instead.
