old rider - new hip

(1/4) > >>

nairb:
I have to ask.  The time is nearing when a new hip will be needed/done.

Is there anybody on the forum with a new hip and still rides their bikes..   I have 10 of the things but wonder if I should stop after the op.  Maybe its time to call it a day. 

Like to hear you opinions.  I have ridden bike since I was 16 and was hoping to go as long as I could ride even if its a cb360 or honda 90.

You old boys worry too much  ;) There is a member on this forum who has one leg missing and had a hip replacement on the other. He is always out and about, doing many miles a year.
I think it is down to how much you wish to keep on biking  :o I lost my left arm in a bike accident back in 1990 and was told that i would have to give up riding. After a arm reconstruction and months of physiotherapy, i was back on the road and have been riding since  :o

Sesman:
Keep going until you physically can’t. I suppose it’s like any activity, is the pleasure worth the pain. I know something about pain by the way……

Nurse Julie:
Don't even consider giving up riding. Once you are fully recovered and your muscles have repaired, you will be just fine.

Spitfire:
Just follow the instruction and do the physio and all will be well, when I got my new knee I thought that I would have problems and initially I did as I could not bend the knee enough on the bike. However after a while doing the exercises and listening to advice from Nurse Julie and other people on this site who had the same operation it all worked out well, I can now ride as badly as I did before the op.

Cheers
