You're up and standing so that's great, keep moving as much as you can...walk as much as you can. Walking is such a simple movement people don't realize, but we can literally sustain our lower body's muscles (or rebuild them after an injury) with just walking alone -- spend 2 months not walking and you'll know exactly what I mean by that.

You'll know when it's time...and the good news is that the bike is much easier on soft tissues and lower impact than running or just about any other cardiovascular activity (except swimming, although that can be tough for people with shoulder issues).
