Hello Brian, welcome to BF, glad that you chose to join us here. You might want to check in the Regional Forums for your area to see others that want to set up rides and other cycling activities. I'm a multiple back surgery guy and cycling has not been a problem for me at all, even the hardware has not limited my riding any. Surf through the forums and find the ones that best suit your needs and you cycling goals.
Bill
