Found out I need a hip replacement in the next 12 months and probably a knee replacement right after that.
Did not expect this at 46. But explains the pain...
Dr. said riding won't do anymore damage, just cause me pain.. so I'm gonna be a crabby, pain filled SOB cause I ain't giving up riding anytime soon.
Aleve, and some heat pads maybe??

I haven't had hips done but I certainly have had a knee replaced and it was worth every minute of the 7 weeks off the bike. I am a bit older than you at 66 but I have had knee issues since my late thirties as a result of rugby injuries in my 20's. I left it way too long to get it done and suffered chronic pain on and off for years as a result. In the end I was hardly able to walk my dog. Obviously You won't make the same mistake.
OCR is an example to us all with both knees done in quick succession.
I found that cycling was a great help both before and after the op, as it kept everything moving without the weight bearing aspects of running, and I still kept fit enough. One learns to live with aches and pains as one gets older. I adapt as I go along. If one bike hurts or doesn't fit, or is too heavy etc etc, I chop it for one that does. What is for sure is that riding is too important in my life to ever contemplate giving it up. Its good to be alive and on a bike.
Best of luck with your ops and stick to the physio regime rigidly for best results.
Fortunately said insect does the right thing and drops out and onto my arm before being windswept away!!
Four wheeled Honda could also be NC with training wheels .With steering and spare that's a 6 wheel Honda! Do cars have 'fly' wheels anymore?
