I did something pretty similar about 3 yrs ago. I had been on
crutches for about 6wks(w/ at least another 12 to go). I was going so
stir crazy I had to get out. Since I couldn't drive a vehicle(hard to
run the gas pedal in a full leg cast), I took the bike. Getting on/off
was a little tricky, but it sure felt good to get out a little.

Never bothered to tell the doctor(or my wife for that matter).
