Robert;
My surgery is scheduled for 14 Dec in Victoria, BC. I ride both a mountain
bike to keep in shape though I stopped immediately I was told I had PCa. I'm
not an up and down mountain trails type but stick to the local trail
system). As for motorcycling, I'm no longer an easy rider, just a lazy
rider. To work and back and when it's nice and warm out I'll go for three
or four hour rides to relax.
As to John and his Road King; I can only dream. I'm a Magna 750 rider now
and tomorrow it goes under the porch for the rest of the winter. Who knows,
if all goes well in the next few months, I might wander into the local
Harley dealer and "look around". Problem is my numbers are not very good
and I've had cancer before with substantial radiation. But, the very best
of luck with your surgery.
If there are a lot of bicycle and motorcycle riders here, could there be a
correlation to PCa....? Just pondering the "far side".

I have been a road bike rider for most of my adult years, was
diagnosed with PCA at age 49, had RRP Sept. 2002. I was back on the
bike 3 weeks after surgery. Short rides and commuting 20 miles a day
to work at first, took a few months but I was back to normal doing
centuries.
No correlation to bicycling and PCA, I have been a club rider for
years, I ride 8,000+ miles a year and ride with guys in there 50's who
ride DOUBLE what I do. My urologist is also an avid cyclist. If
anything, being physically fit helps to not get PCA or any other types
of cancer. Just my opinion.
