Default Riding After Broken Wrist

Comments on Riding after broken wrist. Got tipped off on a pothole
yesterday, and face 6 weeks in plaster. Didn't take the advice about
not stopping the fall with hands - it all happened too quickly! How
soon did others get back on the bike?

I started riding (carefully) with the cast after about a week. Don't
do anything that will cause you to grip too hard - you can still
reinjure the break in spite of the cast. You may find that the reduced
control and increased consequences of falling again are not worth it.
Trainer might be better for the duration.
