Well is it? My GP said I could carry on providing I was aware of it and didn't push myself too hard. However the geared bike (my coiler aka das strudlepanzer) is in the LBS having it's main pivot bushing replaced so I rode my inbred last weekend which may have been less than intelligent.
I still ache a little in the region of said hernia from the ride. I think on the coiler I would have just chuked it int a low gear at every climb thus reducing the straining which may be enlarging/damaging the hernia further. Any medical type people in the house?
