I'm uncomfortable giving opinions on medical matters without knowing the exact nature of someone else's injuries and prognosis, much less not being a medical professional. However, if this is all the biking you plan on doing . . . . . . that would seem to be fairly minimal bike time. If, in...

I have an Aramid Lite Nova Craft Bob Special (40 lbs.) in close-to-new condition that I would like to sell. It paddles Canadian Style extremely well. However, it is currently located near Jacksonville, Florida, at a family member's house.
