I'm an old guy, just turned 70.Live and breathe cycling clocking up 150 miles a week on the road.
I came off 7 weeks ago, and because I already had a replacement hip, the impact of the crash caused the hip to fracture and also needed a new hip replacement.
I soon bounced back to health and starting on recovering my fitness on a trainer. Hopefully I will be back on the bike very soon.
However I'm now very nervous of coming off again. I have looked around for forms of hip protection, don't really like the look of the mountain bike/ skiing heavy padded shorts and I want the protection around the hip joint.
Can anyone suggest where I could look to find padding which I could insert inside my shorts around my hip area?
