Riding with prosthetics

[Nojunk]

I would like to hear from those with artificial joints, knees, hips, shoulders, etc. about your
experiences with biking, particularly longer distances such as 50-100 miles, and longer. Any input
would be appreciated.

Thanks. Remove 'nospam' from the return address.

A couple of guys in my club have had hip replacement (one a double), both in their late 50's. One of
them rode a mountainous 750 mile event 8 months or so after surgery, the other supposedly recovered
even faster.
