sorry to hear...that really stinks. Maybe you can get your hands on a trainer so you can ride without having to balance the bike. I did this when I fractured my shoulder years ago.

That sounds like a really bad break. I hope you're not in pain. For exercise, how about walking or running?

Bad Luck Pink. Hang in there; it is always so hard to stop when something like that makes you stop!
Go for some hikes up the mountains around your home.

I'm really sorry that you are suffering but I had to chuckle at the title. I guess you can't guarantee being safe even if you stay off the streets!

Actually, they do say that most accidents happen at home, right?! Rollers = challenging; I never dared to try them when my DH had some.

I've considered rollers from time to time but the idea of crashing makes me hesitate.
