I tore my hamstring behind the knee playing football 5 days ago. Have been icing it and taking ibuprofen to get swelling down. Can't get above a walk and have physio treatment that starts in a few days

I had a very quick spin on my bike today round the block just to see how things were. There is no problem biking so will wait to see what physio says before doing anything more more substantial

Does anyone have any experience of biking with a hamstring injury ?

Ask Steve Peat. He raced a few world cup downhills with a torn hammy in 2012

You have 4 hamstrings in each leg - I'm sure that riding a bike within reason wont be all that bad a thing.
