Trainer or roller with an HRM. That's what I did when I cut a tendon and had
surgery.
Timex has a cheaper data recorder and HRM combo then Polar. You can upload the
data and check your progress.
That's if there is no other conceivable way to get on the bike....
You can use the HRM/data recorder with you on rides to check your progress
throughout.

Your treadmill may work a little but cycling uses different muscles. You need to
work efficiently with those specific muscles thus the treadmill can only do so
much.
I went from running to cycling. I was in great aerobic shape.
On the bike though I "lost" it cuz of those different muscle groups.
