Remember, always, time is is your friend. There is no need to rush to jump on your bike...maybe, after you heal some more, time on a trainer with your old "bike/friend" will help you to feel more secure on sitting on the bike...no pressure, some videos of the open road to remind you what riding outside was like, but most important, TIME....I, for one, get impatient, and then I have to remind myself that, what I can't accomplish today, I can try tomorrow. And if tomorrow is a week, a month, a few months, a year away, I can still see the possibilities, and well, at my age, I don't think of it as an excuse....I just need the TIME. I only found this site in October and I feel so wonderful just reading all of the frustrations/ celebrations/ hurddles/ accomplishments that my fellow cyclists endure, and I am encouraged that one day, I will also accomplish that which I find impossible at this time. Back in the early 80's, I took a terrible spill...I rode my bike before work every morning. The night before, it rained. I came down off this hill and took a corner too fast and I went down. I was one road rash person and, yes, even in 1982, I was wearing a helmet, it took the brunt that would have surely ended my ear as I know it...It took me awhile to get back on the bike to feel the joy and independence...but I finally got back on it, it just took me TIME.
