just might get rid of it...

[David Beard]

Andy,

    Have never had a joint replacement, but know a couple people who 
have. Everyone I've talked to has mentioned how great they feel with 
their new knees, hips, etc... I don't know when you are scheduled to 
have the surgery, but if it was me, I'd hold off on selling the bike at 
least until after your recovery, just to see how you feel. My guess is 
you'll be able to ride, especially after you go through physical 
therapy. Best of luck with your surgery.
