Have a speedy healing and recovery.
The 50+ forum would probably have a good number of people dealing with broken hips.

Out today for ride after a 6 mile run. Hit some ice turning right down on right hip. Bike ok but in the end crack in top or hip. Not out of align but still 3 screws in to hold I guess. Surgery in 12 hours. The deacon is praying if all well 3-6 months. Anyone with similar issue ever how did things go?
Take care and good luck.

Update surgery came out at 11 am. Feel much better no real pain other than incision area. Did 4 laps walking unassisted no crutches or walker. Hope this keeps up. Actually sitting on a trainer is probably doable. Running not happening soon but I will take it. Little fear of returning to riding now with crashes. I appreciate others chiming it seems BF group of like folks with understanding.

One of the main reasons I stay on the trainer with wet or sub zero conditions, not worth the added risk to me with downtime, pain, loss of work etc, sorry for your accident though my friend hope for a speedy and full recovery!

Glad to hear the surgery went well. They do like to get you out of bed quickly keep moving but take it slow for a while. Remember you may still be feeling the anesthesia and pain meds. I would not think about riding outside while it is wet and cold - spring sounds good
When I was recovering I went to PT and would come home and ride the trainer. Not much chance of falling off that.

I once nearly shattered my tibia on a bad fall on gravel.
No surgery was needed but I needed lots of physical therapy to put it in good use again.
Note: if you don't feel confident about riding over snow and ice get off and walk with the bike. Don't be stupid.
