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.

Oh of course just seeing if anyone else had restrictions. I 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.
 

Girlfriend had both of those in both eyes last year. Physicians were concerned with position of her head (vertical for one, horizontal for the other) and also pressure changes (no exertion) and shock (no running) etc among other restrictions (coffee, alcohol, aspirin).  I assume these are individual more than general so this is not advice.
