    I'm kinda trying to avoid all that...cortisone and surgery stuff.

    But if you come off, you may well create something far more serious so I would advise against.

    Good luck.
    Thanks, I figured all that vibrating will only make my bicep tendon unhappy.

    As far as riding injured goes, it's up to you if you take the risk of further or re-injury. If its safe to ride, then why not? There is always risks in riding, but that shouldn't stop you. Its whether injuries create an adverse safety issue.

    In NZ you can face a careless driving charge for driving while injured (e.g. wearing a leg cast... yes it's been done)... depending of course of the specific circumstances involved.

    What side of the road do you drive on in NZ? I thought it was the right side.
