  • Been riding my fixie for only three months and just had my first crash unfortunately it shattered my humereos (defiantly spelt that wrong ) not only 7 weeks before wedding but also been told I won't be back on bike for at least two months.

    Just thought I'd ask if any one has had a similar injury and how long it was before they got back on?

    Bikes fine though only need a new seat and front tire.

  • Rarely.

    About once every three or four years if I think about it.

    Shattered...?
    8 weeks off sounds about minimum, depends on how shattered I guess.

  • Bad luck. A shattered humerus is no laughing matter (sorry) ;) How many pieces did it break in to?!

    The medics will always advise 8 weeks min for breaks but you may find it OK to go sling-less after the first few, so I would have thought you wont have to wear it in your wedding photos.

    The pain subsides faster than you think it will, so hang on in there!

    From the clavicle thread - https://www.lfgss.com/comments/11962439/ - but you should find some relevant experiences on there.
