    I had a really bad anal fissure years back. Ended up having to have 2 separate surgeries. Now if I do any type of sitting down activity, biking, rowing, etc. I get hugely swollen and sore in the entire area around my taint. Would love to bike again, but it’s just not going to happen for me.

      Hang in there! I had my entire rectum removed and couldn’t fathum the thought of riding a bike.

      But 10 years later I decided to give it a shot and now I bike all the time… Thousands of kilometers this past year!

      Healing did take years, so don’t give up. In the interim, I did get an e-scooter so I didn’t have to sit 👌

        I’ve thought about getting an e-scooter. I have a regular (well adult-sized) push scooter that I use just about daily, but it’s not great for longish trips.

          You might even want to consider a “kick bike”, which is a kick scooter with larger (bike-sized) tires. I had one several years ago and it was awesome! Should be easier to get around on compared to the one you have now, and I know a guy who went across Canada on one!

          Escooter my man, they’re still fun and a good entry level performance model (vsett 9+) claps in around 1k instead of 3k for an EUC (veteran patton)
