Are you having laparoscopic or open surgery? I had open surgery, with a mesh patch, for an inguinal hernia at the end of October. I would agree 4 to 6 weeks. Be kind to yourself during recovery but get up and walk around a bit. Do not try to lift much during the 4 to 6 weeks period and when...

This must be a thing. I was diagnosed with right side inguinal hernia yesterday. I guess the left side repair from 1997 got lonely.

Fabricated a fatbike fender out of some materials on hand.

Do you normally wear glasses? From what your post indicates, you do not. It will take a little time to adjust to a new prescription. I've worn glasses for a long time and found I don't do well wearing tinted, polarized lenses in the woods. The shadows and light from different angles will...

Must be a road bike :cool:

I didn't think I would ever read a story of Greg Lemond and e-bikes. Interesting read. I blame him for my obsession in bike fitting after I read his book in 1987.

Mine is a 2020 too. Maybe it's because I look so effortless when I ride but I doubt that.
