Implanted guys can you ride a bicycle normally when you are fully recovered from surgery???

Hello, I do some road biking (not as much as before but maybe 40-50 miles/week) but no issues with the implant after about 3-4 months and all the post-surgery pain gone.

If your bicycle seat hurts you, get one that feels better. There are some seats specially shaped to reduce pressure on the pelvic bones, etc. Some men have no problem with their old seats. Some me feel the need to change. Your experience will be yours and unique to you.

Thants for your reply, Wery encouraging to hear...

I believe it is important to make sure that there is no repetitive bending of the tubing from the pump to the cylinders and reservoir.
According to Dr. Eid, this repetitive tube bending is one of the major reasons for an early failure relative to a weaken fatigue of the tubes from this action.

I do a lot of road bike cycling, usually around 100 miles a week but sometimes I can hit 200. It took me a couple months before I felt good on the bike again. I did get one of those no nose seats and it was awful, I couldn't stay on top of the seat because your sit bones are riding right on top of those type seats.
I put my ISM-PL1.1 40 back on my bike and it was very comfortable and no problems with the implant. I also have a Specialized 143mm Power saddle on my other road bike and it is very comfortable also. I thought that the pump would cause problems with the boys down there, but the pump finds its place and I don't even notice it, at least for me.
I wear a Jockey brand sports bikini brief under my cycling bibs and that helps keep everything in place. I wore the bikini brief even before I got the implant because I didn't like the feel of the boys going back and forth on the chamois padding inside the bibs.
I don't know where you live, but I've done the Hotter N Hell 100 mile endurance bike ride in Wichita Falls, Texas several times with the implant and no problems.

Attached is a link to the briefs that I wear, they are sort of like a jock strap but they are very comfortable.

Thanks for your advice brother...

After trying multiple solutions as to what underwear to wear and with too much perspiration and wedgies, I ask a couple experienced guys and they said the best of all was to wear no underwear! This assumes you are wearing padded cyclist shorts. It works. After I get home I air them out and they are good to go for several rides. I don't like to wash them every time as it wears them out quickly. Just another idea.

I ride ~60 miles a week, and have been with my AMS CX for the past 11 months or so. No issues with my saddle or device when riding.

Since tubes were mentioned above, Dr. Eid put out a video about the tubes being an issue on the Coloplast Titan with the Touch pump.
