It took me a bit to work out what your post title meant.
Good luck with your recovery.
The answer may be different for each person- you probably need to ask your doctor
There is no right or wrong answer to this question as patient's recovery varies as do Orthopaedic Surgeon's advice.

The problem is not cycling, but falling off, which you could do after 2 months. 6 months or indeed anytime.
My advice would be anytime after 4 months that you feel confident with your new hip.......then off you go.

Confidence varies from patient to patient and from 4 months to years.
