It's a risk benefit thing. Sure I haven't crashed in the last year (well, since Tucson, but that wasn't my fault). But if I did crash it could be catastrophic. So, sadly, not worth it.
My (very unathletic) doctor was talking about how I could ride on a bike path at an easy pace, etc. Sorry. No offense to anyone here, but to me where I am right now, that's not riding. So I will simply do some major cross-training for the next few months....Sarah
