Kathryn, Here are my ideas:
Depending on your injury, you may consider a recumbent or semi-recumbent for a year or so. If the injury is less severe, I would recommend limited amounts of time on the bike until it is relatively comfortable. Every time I've done PT they remind me to work in the "pain free" zone. I used to have a gel pad for my bike seat. It was easily removable (drawstring). I know that there are a lot of reasons why they are not supposed to be good, but I really liked it. It absorbed most of the shock that came up through the saddle. Also, doing everything you can to further reduce road shock is probably in order. Tires on the lower side of recommended pressure range, bent arms with riding gloves, comfy saddle (whatever that means to you), and bike with relaxed geometry. Good luck. -india On Mon, Feb 25, 2013 at 4:15 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > Anyone have experience moving back to biking after a tailbone injury? My > doctor has no experience in this area.
