I was just wondering if any one who rides has had or knows someone who rides that has had a lower lumbar laminectomy with hardware.(rods and screws in spine W/bone fusion).And can you still ride after recovery?thanks just wanted to know.

I bet you can if you swallow a bunch of pain pills, and put on a backbrace, should be no problem. Other than that I really don't know if you can ride after all that I guess it depends what the Dr says and how well you feel up to ridding.

Since you will be full of rods and screws anyway, just remove the seat and bolt your ass to the frame and become one with the bike.

Yes you can! Providing you have healed up. My teamates dad had the SAME surgery not even 1 year now and he raced with us this weekend. He tried at our last race and felt the course was too much for him and chose not to run after the practice lap. This time he completed and placed! He did not wear a brace either. He says his Dr told him that the bumbing and jarring will actually help heal stronger.
Just take it easy and know when to say when.
And stay off the pain pills. That is a whole nother topic.

I also had back surgury 10 years ago and still ride, its not if you can ride its what you ride.A safe bet is a four wheeler with good independant suspension.
