Savra, welcome to the board and sorry to hear about your incident. If you do decide to ride, I would maybe offer your ankle with a little support like from an ace bandage/wrap. Rest does the best trick. Don't push it too fast or you'll be off your bike even longer. What LBS did you go to? Theres a bike shop I"ve missed in my adventures? I've been to Tom's ( I think that's the name) up on Walden Ave, and to Handlebars up near the Gates Circle HOspital and VA..(emphasis was near these facilites-I was only there once)..Not that I need a thing, but I always like to visit shops just to visit and see what I can't live without! Enjoy your bike.
