    Hang in there! I had my entire rectum removed and couldn’t fathum the thought of riding a bike.

    But 10 years later I decided to give it a shot and now I bike all the time… Thousands of kilometers this past year!

    Healing did take years, so don’t give up. In the interim, I did get an e-scooter so I didn’t have to sit 👌

      I’ve thought about getting an e-scooter. I have a regular (well adult-sized) push scooter that I use just about daily, but it’s not great for longish trips.

        You might even want to consider a “kick bike”, which is a kick scooter with larger (bike-sized) tires. I had one several years ago and it was awesome! Should be easier to get around on compared to the one you have now, and I know a guy who went across Canada on one!
