I figure someone in the group has had cataract surgery. Were
you able to keep riding you bike right after surgery if you
wanted? I did after my retinal detachment but just went
easy. I hoping the dr will allow me to spin indoors at
least. RIght now no riding outside any how nasty deep freeze.

Both procedures will have limits while you heal and you ought to consult
your physician ASAP before doing that.

did ask the tech who saw me about the limitations already.
No bending and eye pressure but said normally can walk. For
me me walking is harder than riding but I will be checking
with the dr for sure. I tell you when the retinal surgeon
allowed me to ride I was happy and apparently rare they do.
Mine was sush that I had to be i an upright position so that
helped.

I had cataract surgery in Jan 2024. I was warned to avoid any kind of activity that involved head vibration or shock. Bicycle riding wasn't mentioned, but jogging, operating vibrating power tools, horseback
riding, etc were on the banned list. My guess(tm) is cycling would
have been acceptable as long as you ride on smooth pavement and don't
crash. I don't recall for how long a period this involved. It was
either 2 or 3 months after the last surgery.
Besides bouncing down the road, increasing IOP (intra ocular pressure) through exercise is a bigger problem. Typically, the IOP increases a
few hours after surgery and stays high for a day or two. Mine stayed
high for about 5 days. It was easy for me to tell because my normal astigmatic vision magically fixed itself as the eyeball returned to a spherical shape. Too bad it didn't last. Anyway, if you're prone to glaucoma, ask to the doctor, not me.
"When can I start exercising after cataract surgery?" <https://www.opticalexpress.co.uk/magazine/article/when-can-i-start-exercising-after-cataract-surgery>
"You should avoid strenuous exercise, such as cycling after cataract
surgery for a minimum of four weeks."

I had some problems with the month long eye drop regime. I suggest
you follow the ordeal process and not miss any eye drop applications.
I was thoroughly confused trying to remember which bottle and which
eye to apply the drops. I ended up color coding the bottle and taping
the chart to my bathroom mirror. Whatever works and don't skip on the
eye drops. The end results were worth the eye drop ordeal.

I believe I was riding pretty soon after each eye's surgery, but I'm
not known for following doctor's orders. At any rate, the way I ride
is less likley to jarring than you might experience.
