Update, in case this is helpful for other #amputees out there: #cycling without my #prosthetic leg made my lumbar injury flare. This could be due to improper bike fit or going too hard too soon. But I also realized that I missed riding with the prosthetic. (Unlike the ‘90s and ‘00s, mine is really comfortable—its just that the liners and gasket can be finicky sometimes, and when it fills with sweat, it slides a bit. It’s only come completely loose twice, though.) I missed the rhythmic back and forth of using each leg, and that using it strengthens my weak side, too.

Arguably most importantly, I need (or at least want) to be able to walk at certain points, or at the end of, my ride—especially when im riding with my relatively young son. I won’t have time to get competitive until he’s in college, anyway, so I’m not going for absolute max power. If I do get competitive, I’ll probably make the switch back to the “no leg” style.

"Podolyak does not believe political #protests in #Russia will play a role in the defeat, but there will be unrest of a different nature: protests of relatives who have lost their loved ones, as a large number of wounded and #amputees begin to appear on the streets." - Bruno Maçães, "This is how #Putin loses the war", in an interview with Mykhailo Podolyak, advisor to President #Zelenskyy

I have no idea how this happened, but the #YouTube #algorithm has somehow decided that what I want to watch are a bunch of videos about #amputees. And while they have turned out a bit interesting, I'm at a total loss for why I've been pointed their way.
