Could I ride with a Broken Toe? [SPOILERS]
«

I just recently, well 3 weeks ago, broke my big toe on my left foot by dropping a star post on it, blood everywhere, ambulance came because I blacked out for 30 seconds and my S.O started panicking. I was wearing Japanese safety boots at the time it happened (flip flops to people state side). I have been limping around on it since it happened and since my bike is in the shop getting repaired, I haven't ridden. I want to pick my bike up this week and i'm pretty sure that I can ride it. I don't use my toe for changing gears, I suppose I use the part of my foot just behind my toe and being able to wear my boots will be a headache.
Just worried about stopping at traffic lights and being able to change gears, I just want my bike back.
Edit for people who have not seen MotoGP.

I wouldn't try it. Just getting into proper footwear (you learned your lesson right?) will likely be very painful...

If it does not hurt then do it
I shift using the bridge of my Toe. I guess depending on the boot it will make a big difference.
Or do what I do most of the time unless its raining... Clutchless shifts

Yeah, well I wear steel capped boots for work and I have been walking (limping) around in them for about 1 1/2 weeks. Not too comfortable but I get used to it after 1/2 hour.
I might try my Dainese's boots this week and see how I go, I know they are pretty snug in the toe area.
This has really pissed me off!

I just knew someone would say that.
Too bad I can't ride like Jorge.

What does clutchless shifting have to do with it?

Sit side saddle and change gears with your right foot! Also a good solution when wearing a skirt.

Ack! My EYES!
As far as shifting with a broken big toe, likely it's going to hurt.
Whether it's too much for you, who knows?
It may hinder the healing, best to ask your doctor.
