Due to an irregular (and slow) heartbeat, I had a pacemaker implanted a week ago. Had my first follow-up visits today and, although everything looks good so far, I won't be allowed to ryde for another three weeks. (At least I'm OK to drive again...).

So, I'm just wondering whether anyone here rydes with a pacemaker? If so, what adjustments, if any, did you need to make to your ryding? I'm a bit concerned about pushing the handlebars - my incision is just below the left collarbone and the muscles in that area area are used to turn the bars- especially to the right. (I know the incision will fully heal eventually, but I wouldn't want to overdo it too early.)

Any thoughts on pacemakers and ryding?

Thanks!
