THR Post op questions

Hey Jimmy From my experience, it's not important how long it takes you to get back on a bike, it's the fact you are focused on getting back on the bike that is the important thing. Take your time and listen to your body and keep that goal of riding, and if you don't achieve it in the...- paul-crip
