The thing is, you can probably operate the bike well enough, if all goes well.
The kicker is if all does not go well.
If the back end slides and you have to put your foot down.
If it gets knocked over and you have to pick it up.
Heaven forbid you have an accident.
What will this do to your new, still healing, hip.
As much as the temptation drives you nuts, let it take as long as it needs to.
