None of us should try to play armchair doctors. If you are having such problems, it is best if you first consult your doctor, if you can even ride.

Re: Help me to chose the bike

It's better to move on to a four wheel since you having problem while driving bikes , after you get this problem treated then you can go back .
Did you try ridding other bikes ??

Re: Help me to chose the bike

Brother,

I feel your pain. I had back issues which I ignored for many years due to lack of awareness and money. I regulary rode a bicycle on long trips on bad roads partly becase I loved riding and it was necessary to ride one for commutes. Later the issue mafnified (I think I have stated my concern about it here in this forum) and I being a stupid guy kept bicycling. Last year I lost sensation on one of my leg and it spread gradually, I went to see a doctor at a government hospital (that's the only thing I could afford) and he prescribed some expensive blood tests which came out normal and gave some expensive vitamin tablets. Those didn't work and now I'm paralysed on a leg I think. I wish I was happy and healthy and had made better choices earlier, but I always make stupid decisions and that makes me unworthy of being alive.

I wanna get better treatment but I lack the money to do so, on top of that my father has heart problem and mother suffers from hip problem which syops me from asking their help. I know it's gonna end miserably for us, I just hope it's a quick one.

I'm sorry about the OT guys, I just felt so sad by your post and typed it. Do not ride bro, give up riding, buy a car with comfort, like the Duster and lead a happy life at Tbhp.

I'm sorry again.

Re: Help me to chose the bike

I really so sorry to hear about your problem n I applaud you for having the courage to discuss your problems on a public platform.
In fact it's these gestures from fellow xbhp members that makes this more of a family than a forum.

I had similar issues with my back in an accident in late 2009, I had a vertebrae almost crushed. But then two wheeler was the best and the fastest mode of transportation in bangalore. I choose honda activa. I have been comfortable every since with the fair share of back issues. Even to this day I believe it's the best decision ever took.

If you think two wheeler is your only option choose a non geared bike....otherwise it's the four wheeler.
