Biking Vs Walking in Early Post-Op?

In my attempt to get ducks in a row before my surgery, I was wondering what peoples' experiences were with biking in that first post-op few weeks. My knees like biking more than walking, and I just got a bike, so if I can I'd like to use it. Please share experiences and recommendations (including "That's not a smart idea" if it's not).

    This is a fantastic question as I also love my bike... I'd imagine having surgery in the abdomen area would make it uncomfortable for a while though. I'm sure your surgeon can answer that question if no one here can. (though I'm patiently waiting for someone here to give us a yay or nay)

    I am a leader for a meetup.com group and have organized a 34 mile bike ride for 28 people on the Virginia Creeper Trail 6 weeks past my surgery date (it was set before my surgery date), so I do hope I'll be back riding by then...ha!! (thankfully the first 17miles are all down hill!!)
