Mounting the bike difficulty
I've had both hips pinned and one replacement, 2014, 2016 and 2018. I was very diligent about exercises and did even more than were recommended and seemed to recover well. At five weeks I could do easy rides of about a half hour. But to mount the bike I had to lay it down, step over it, and pull it up between my legs. I could not swing a leg over the bike. That went on for a few weeks. Even today, I find it much easier to swing my leg over the bike from the drive side versus the non drive side.
