Emily,
Awesome that you can soon start to pedal on a bike! Indoors, or not, it won't matter, you will be so thrilled to be ON a bike. I know I couldn't lift my leg over my bike when I first started after a broken pelvis. I put the bike in the trainer (I was using a road bike) and set a step stool next to it and managed to get on that way. To say it was worth the trouble doesn't even begin to describe the feeling of actually being on a bike again and knowing I was that much closer to recovery. It hurt like he** to get on but once pedaling, it was wonderful!! I was VERY carreful not to overdo it. My first session was only for 15 minutes. I actually was in tears, I was so relieved to be on the bike and pedaling. A very emotional moment. I wish you joy and healing! I'll be checking your blog.

WOW! Way to go on the recovery!
You know... I don't *know* you... but I thought about your story this weekend.
I was riding in the MS150... on some country roads... and there were two dogs running into the street. I thought about your horrible accident... slowed down... unclipped...and kept a close eye on the dogs.
They stayed away...but I tried to prepare myself just in case.
Take care... and heal fast!
