[QUOTE="harper, post: 1436800, member: 88451"] Congratulations on your new and, undoubtedly, soon-to-be-superior new knee. I had my left knee replaced in 2017 at age 64. I was able to ride after six weeks but, like you, apprehensively. It has been no real problem and as mcatrophy suggested it is probably a good time to think about how you stop that top-heavy thing. I always try to stop left foot down and as balanced as possible. If I tilt slightly right I go ahead and put both feet down. At that point I am already balanced and only switch to left foot down, right foot on brake if I am starting uphill. I was able to bicycle six miles, walk five miles, and ride the motorcycle all six weeks after surgery. Both the surgeon and the physical therapist told me I was eight months out from riding my big-wheel unicycle. I didn't believe them. If I could ride a bicycle six miles I could certainly ride a unicycle three. Unfortunately, they were right. Lots of rapid torque change doing that. [/QUOTE]
