I broke my collar bone in a mountain biking accident about 3 1/2 weeks ago. I got pretty depressed for awhile since I am usually very active, and a broken collar bone makes it painful to do ANYTHING. The pain is no longer constant, and the figure 8 brace helps a lot. I have started riding the stationary bike at the gym to hopefully maintain whatever fitness I may still have and possibly get some back. It feels better every day, but there is still a lot of healing to do - I broke it in 3 spots!

Has anyone ever broken their collar bone and been able to ride with it? It will probably be uncomfortable, but as long as it's not painful it should be ok, right? I am just really bummed that I won't be able to enjoy the rest of the summer otherwise!
