I had my MCL and PCL mended in two separate ops. Riding fixed is fine - in fact, it's better rehab than my geared bike, as it's harder for me to overcompensate with the good leg riding fixed (my good leg kept cramping until I figured out what was going on). But take it easy, don't rush the rehab. And ride with a rear as well as a front brake. Whip skids are not knee friendly.
Well the problem is I don't have a good knee XD.
My problem came from several moped accidents. I was doing deliveries back in 2006. I still haven't recovered. I started riding fixed because the physiotherapist advised on riding on a spinning bicycle in the gym. I found that pretty boring and then saw this guy on TV riding a fixie. Best training I've ever had and actually enjoy it. I was never into cycling. Still not a real cycling fan or anything. I don't like watching the tour or the giro, I rather go outside to ride. If I get the chance I like watching track racing but couldn't care less who wins. But enough about that.
I got an appointment with a doctor tomorrow morning. I sat crossed legs for a few minutes about two weeks ago and can now sort of walk again. It hurts like hell. Driving my car hurts, walking hurts, especially up and down stairs. Crouching is almost impossible. The swelling on the inside went away and the pain is sometimes gone but then I make a normal move (turning, mostly) and I'm in a lot of pain again.
I really want to put some more miles on Strava but I'm afraid that I might cause more damage to my knees. Just heard my front wheel can be picked up from my LBS. Hope to be able to ride again. Gaining so much weight right now :(
