Torn knee anterior cruciate 31-Aug-2007 At 12:53:59 PM davids

Thanks Bel. I'm seeing a physio Monday to make sure I don't lose too much quad strength. Its amazing how things have changed over the last 20 years. I tore my medial ligament playing footy 25 years ago, had the arthroscopy, then immobilisation in full leg plaster for 6 weeks! Not a physio in sight. Needless to stay took ages to come back from that.
The trouble with bike riding is that a personal experience at a friends terrible death in a bicycle accident, and living in the country with narrow roads and fast cars/trucks means I just can't bring myself to do it. Even though bike riding is the new golf - eh? Basically I'm too scared - too many flashbacks. Perhaps an exercise bike.
Why do you say no flippers? Does it put too much strain through the unstable knee?
