Went and got my mountain bike out of the shop today. I have been piecing it together myself over the winter and spring with new and used parts, but with summer here I figured I'd just pay someone to finish the labor for me.  I rode it maybe a 1/4 mile is all--I didn't have my bike shoes and it's not all that easy or comfortable to ride with clipless pedals while wearing regular shoes.  Anyways, while riding the bike that short distance, I felt pressure in my leg in the exact same spot I've got the concerns that have kept me from running for the past 10 days.  I don't know.  I hope biking won't be an issue--it's the only thing that going to keep me in shape for the next 3+ weeks.  I'm going to put on my biking kit here shortly and give it a more thorough effort to see what happens.  Wish me luck.

Good luck! There's nothing like spandex to keep a person motivated to stay in shape :)

Good luck. I hope you don't have a stress fracture like Rhett.

Thirty minute easy ride went really well--no discomfort! Yay me!

Yeah, I certainly hope it's not anything even close to what Rhett's got. Yikes!

I thought the clips would help, if you are only using a down stroke it has got to feel weird!

So, how was the ride?

Don't forget the helmet! Hope the leg is healing well!

biking "kit" -- spent time in the UK? I hope the bike riding is enjoyable for you with no leg pain.
