Simon Cowell, 61, keeps up with his exercise regime as he goes for a cycle on E-bike

He previously suffered a devastating injury that left him bedridden for most of 2020 after a bike accident.

And Simon Cowell proved he was undeterred by the setback as he was back on his E-bike as he cycled around West London on Thursday. 

The media mogul, 61, cut a casual figure for the outing as he wrapped up in a black bomber jacket which he wore with white shorts.

The Britain’s Got Talent judge also sported a pair of black trainers and put safety first with a matching face mask.

TSimon, who suffered the accident near his home in Malibu, recently touched down back in the UK as he was spotted on an outing in California last week. 

The accident happened just steps from his Malibu home when he crashed in the courtyard of the estate.

‘Simon has broken his back in a number of places’ a spokesperson said after the fall.

The former American Idol judge had to undergo surgery to have a rod inserted after the crash.

He was at least doing well enough after the accident to share a short message on his social media accounts.

‘Some good advice… If you buy an electric trail bike, read the manual before you ride it for the first time,’ he wrote.

‘I have broken part of my back. Thank you to everyone for your kind messages. And a massive thank you to all the nurses and doctors. Some of the nicest people I have ever me.’

Simon was with his girlfriend, their little boy and her son from a previous relationship at the time of the accident, according to ABC News.

Because of his injuries, the record executive was forced to miss out on the return of his series America’s Got Talent.

In October, The Sun reported that Simon had taken a turn for the worse that would delay his recovery significantly.

He suffered complications from surgery to fuse two vertebrae, which required him to mostly stay in bed for six months.

At the time, he was reported to be on heavy painkillers and was too unwell to even record short promos for America’s Got Talent from home.

However, he was still able to walk a bit around his home garden and to do some light physical therapy in a pool.

But by February of this year, Simon said he was doing considerably better and seemed to be in high spirits.

‘The first four weeks were the hardest,’ he recalled to ET in that month. ‘Because you feel kind of helpless, and it was the first time in my life I’ve ever felt helpless. Then you’re bored and frustrated, and I was in so much pain, if I’m being honest with you.’

As he described it, the pain disappeared miraculously weeks after recovery.

‘Just like the doctor said, you hit this kinda seven, eight-week mark, and it’s like it never happened. I mean, literally like that, so there were a lot of pluses.’
