    Getting back on bike!

    Well, the knee replacement went well and I am going to get back on the bike this coming Monday. This Tuesday will be 7 weeks post surgery and I believe that it is strong enough to ride. Boy do I miss it!

    I hope the bionic knee is doing well and that you are now painfree. Congrats on being in the wind again!

    Had my left knee replaced 3-4 years ago now post injury at work. Took a while to get back on two wheels due to range of motion issues and some stability issues with the TKR (still have those) they want to do a revision, I'm not up for that at this point.
    Looking to "up size" from my Sporty back to a bagger and F6b is the plan. Now that I feel secure in my leg strength and range of motion.
    Good luck in the rehab of the knee and happy riding!

    If I may, I would like to ask you a question or 2 about the knee replacement. I may need 1 or both done.

    Did you research many Dr's?
    Do you or the Dr's think you'll be able to be very active when fully recovered?
    Were you very active before the surgery?
    Are you pain free after 7 weeks?

    Thank you and I wish you monstrous success !!!!!
