Prostatectomy and Bike Riding

It's been almost a month since I had a radical prostatectomy with the
DaVinci robot. Subsequent pathology was very good, very encouraging,
cancer wholly removed, very low chance of later complications, etc.

How long until I even feel like riding the bike again?

I'm a daily rider, commuter, and enjoy log distance touring. But
frankly, at this time, because of the residual pain I'm not even
tempted to ride the bike!

How long is this gonna last? Would a different type saddle help? Is
there a danger of doing harm by attempting to ride the bike too early?

My surgeon isn't a biker. The best he could offer is that I could
start riding the bike "about two weeks after you're back to work."

Anybody gone through this that would like to offer words of
encouragement?

Thanks.
