As I attempt to recover from a hip flexor injury, I'm faced with question to ride or drive. Walking at times is incredibly painful, climbing stairs can start a spasm, but biking does not increase the pain. But does this movement inhibit the healing process?
I do continue to commute by bike for the majority of my work shifts and have switched to the car when off to familial or gym events.
Physio has prescribed several stretches and exercises to strengthen the deep but tiny muscles that hold my hip together. I am hopeful that I will see improvement soon.
As for rides I have completed a 75 km day last week, along a converted railbed call the Kissing Bridge trail. We as a family have cycled this trail quite often and I enjoy it immensely. I'm down to 1500 km to meet the goal of 3650 km of measured rides by year end. This should be doable.
Good night for now.
