Tomorrow will be four weeks since a very slow fall which resulted in three broken ribs. Left side at the back 4ish inches from spine,6,7,8
When would it be wise to be back on me bike?
Tomorrow would be the best answer!
Only you can tell, if you do ride then take it easy. Good luck.
Don't think it's so much wisdom as just when you're able. I did rebreak a rib one time but not on the bike, I leaned over too far in an armchair 😆 It's taken me between 3 weeks before I went and raced 10 Under the Ben, and 10 weeks before I did anything at all (I broke the same rib at the front and the back, that sucked all manner of balls)
I would definitely opt not to crash, though.
7 or 8 weeks usually for me although this years Alp trip was after 6 weeks from a rib break and whilst it was a bit sore if I jarred it, I was OK, if riding a little defensively.
I was back on the bike after 4wks when I broke my ribs back in December. As long as you feel comfortable.
