Blimey. Sounds like you were very lucky, relatively speaking. I would listen to your docs and only do things as when and they recommend. My bike crash injury has definitely suffered for trying to do too much.

Blimey GWS.
I broke my back and was off horses for about 6 or 7 months before I was allowed back on one (walking pace only). I was allowed in a swimming pool before I was allowed any other form of exercise.
Follow the doctors orders regarding back and neck injuries. Do not be tempted to say 'it's only a hop around the block, what harm can it do'. Do the physio and don't try to hurry the recovery.

GWS and think about the bike when your good and ready .
As far as biking goes long term theres generally a way, guy on the cycle show had to have his spine bolted together so he cant bend after a hit and run and he now rides a recumbant trike.

I think listen to the Doc's advice, don't try to get back on the bike too soon.
