I fractured my sternum in a mountain biking accident 10 days ago. I rode a little on the road bike before formal diagnosis with no pain or ill effects, but stopped post visit to the hospital a week ago. The registrar said take it easy for a few days but was a bit vague about what and when I could do things. None of the movements riding on the road caused me any noticeable pain before I stopped. In fact getting in and out of the car is more painful.
I am going stir crazy and tempted to ride the road bike again gently with a hrm on to make sure I am not pushing myself too hard.
Am I being stupid contemplating riding this early in the recovery process?
