Education Secretary Betsy DeVos is still recovering from a bicycle crash that left her with a broken pelvis and hip socket.

DeVos was seen Thursday being wheeled on and off stage in her father's wheelchair to speak at the US Conference of Mayors Annual Winter Meeting in Washington, DC.

She revealed a day prior at a Heritage Foundation Event that she won't be able to walk unassisted for at least three months as she recovers.

'I was ejected rather forcefully from my bike and landed squarely on my left hip and broke my pelvis in three places and my hip socket,' DeVos said from the stage Wednesday while seated in the wheelchair.

DeVos underwent surgery this month and rested at home for at least a week with no public events.

DeVos called her injury 'very painful'.

'I still have some pain but it's getting better. The worst part about it is that I can't put weight on my left leg for three months. So I'm learning to navigate around with a walker and obviously I inherited my father's wheelchair,' she added.

Last Thursday she made her first public appearance since the horrific cycling accident.

The Education Secretary spoke to a gathering in Washington hosted by the Gallup Organization, telling an audience that America's young people shouldn't be so sheltered, and should learn to take more 'calculated and interesting risks.'

DeVos made her remarks at Gallup's 'Lemonade Day' from the wheelchair.

'Generally speaking, younger people have grown up in a more protective environment,' she protested.

'We've heard lots about helicopter parenting,' she added, 'and making sure that nobody gets hurt doing something and we don't take too many risks so we don't fail.'

'I think it's a general aura of safety and security over taking calculated and interesting risks around things.'

She typically splits her time between Washington and her home state of Michigan.

'It will heal,' DeVos said last week I just have to stay off of it for quite a few weeks, so I'm getting around with other means.'
