I had surgery on my one foot and in a walking boot for 6 weeks. Could I ride my peloton with one foot …lol. Or would that cause so problems ?
What did you have done?
people do single leg spin drills, no? So a little bit should be ok. I think you’d want to be careful doing lots so as not to develop muscle imbalances.
I was in a boot for quite awhile in summer 2021 due to foot surgery. I lifted weights w my upper body and swam once I was cleared to do so.
Other things you might consider are those ski erg things
keep us updated as to how you are.
Best,

I rode the trainer one legged when I had a broken foot and had a cast on my leg. It definitely helped me learn how to spin instead of mash the pedals.
I had a torn ligament(ruptured plantar plate) and badly dislocated toe where the bone had to be shaved.
I’m just trying to get some cadio in. I was going to do about 10-15 minutes a few days a week.
I’ve had countless foot failures. Honestly, the best thing you can do is swim. Max out swimming as soon as the doc clears you to be in a pool, and take advantage of it.
That won’t be for 4-6 weeks. I not allowed to really flex the foot at all. Need something in the meantime.
You should go watch Lucy Charles Barclay’s YouTube channel. There’s a bunch of footage of her riding the bike in a boot.
You can swim without flexing your foot. Not very efficient, but beneficial. I’ve had two foot surgeries, including broken metatarsal with screws. You can spin one-footed, but swimming is the best overall, until you can truly return to the two-footed stuff.
I had achilles surgery on 9/13. On 10/2 i got my cast off and am now in a boot. I put a flat pedal on my trainer bike and ride in the boot with my heel on the pedal. The doctor gave that as a way to cross train. At first i could do only z1 but as my achilles has recovered i can now get to high z2.
I had to lower the seat a tad.
Ask your doctor what you can do.

I searched quick and couldn’t find any

19 years ago I had an accident that badly damaged my left leg. My left ankle has only a few degrees range of motion, combined with a size 12.5 / 4E foot I might as well be swimming in a boot…
