Evening internet doctors.

I had a small operation last Thursday to remove a little sticky outy nubbin of bone from my clavicle. The broken collar bone has healed up fine (it was broken 3 and a half months ago) but obviously there's a small cut in my shoulder about 4cm long. The question is, would it be wise to head out on the bike this weekend? I've not got stitches just tape holding it all together.

I'm desperate to get back on the bike for a gentle spin (I've not been out since April) but don't really want to tear my shoulder apart and put my recovery back.

Any advice gratefully received.

1. Ask your doctor?

2. Seriously what can go wrong?

do it.

The worst that is likely is that it opens up a little, weeps and scars better.
& everyone knows that chick dig scars 😉

That's the sort of irresponsible attitude I was hoping for.

Woo Hoo. Bike time again.
