    After my hip resurfacing op in 2008 I'd been encouraged by the surgeon to return to cycling, both on and off road ,more or less straight away.

    I was told by the consultant to carry on cycling right up to my op, which I did.Oddly I could swing my bad hip over the crossbar but not the good one ????

    There was a tour-de-france winner a few years ago who needed a replacement. The fact he got disqualified for taking performance enhancing drugs doesn't make it any less remarkable.

    Cycling is brilliant for hip op recuperaration, just make your saddle height is correct and good luck.

    I'm pre-op, but attended the physio hip group for 6 weeks with all those with new hips.  They were all expected to do a session on the exercise bikes and could do far more tham I could.  Having said that, I would still ask your GP, consultant or physio as everyones recovery is different.

    I am now 6 months and have been using an exercise bike during that time. Cycling is good for it but what you have to watch out for is stopping suddenly and putting your new hip under pressure by landing on it awkwardly. I find that my scar catches on the saddle but a good gel saddle should be ok.

    i would like to know if you stand up and peddle whether this is not good for it as sometimes when I am tired my leg seems to give way.

    Hello Hiyab!

    My Ethiopian friend Kalkidan, who runs 'Sanchos Dress' ethical ethiopian clothing from a small shop in Exeter, is also a very good cook, as I imagine you are too!

    So, while not a big new year time for you, my best wishes to you, and hope you are eating a delicious ethiopian meak tonight!

    Warm greetings

    Mic
