As long as it's your right leg. You can always brake with your right hand. Bet if felt great to get back on again. Keep healing man.

I know how you feel.

I tore up my right leg and rode my bike home, only to be told I couldn't ride for three months when I went to the hospital.

It was easier to ride the bike than it was to drive a car, but obviously the bike was bad, because bikes are bad and cars are things doctors understand.

Wasn't it great to ride again ? I'm sitting here with a perfectly capable body wishing I could ride again. If I think about it long enough, I get pretty sad. A good bike ride would really make the sun shine. I swear my brain would heal much faster if I could ride a motorcycle. I'm really starting to think my depression is making me depressed.

Believe me, I am very happy for you !
