I wasn't a bike rider when I had this done (quite a few years ago...surgery techniques might have changed), but I did need real recovery, as from a surgery: ice-packs, meds, several days lying around, etc. Not to say the experience was bad, or anything, in fact I healed up well. But, it was a surgery and did require a number of days for swelling to go down and for me to want to be up and around, let alone working out. Best wishes and happy healing!
