I was originally thinking some kind of harness around your chest that is then tethered to something from the rear, but I think your squat rack idea does the same in a more secure manor. You could tailor how much lean you need with the distance of your bike to the rack. I would be sure to buy a nice pad for the bar.

Make sure you think through how you are going to get on and off the bike. That will be your most vulnerable part of an inside bike workout, especially if you have a chest height bar that is a fixed position thatās best for being already on the bike. Do you happen to have a dropper post, that you can step onto the seat from behind?
*This thought is based on thinking the bar is in front of you, but I guess it could be behind your back and allow you to step over top tube and stand on the pedal(s) to get your butt onto the seat. But, from experience, having the bar behind you as a backrest, might make your balance sketchy (susceptible to falling forward), and you donāt want to fall forward and put out your hands to catch yourself with a broken collarbone. A strap/tether could solve that issue, as KonaSS suggested.

Get some clip on aero bars and an bosu ball. You can just sort of lay on it.

Very good point about getting on the bikeā¦ I currently wonāt risk it but I stared 5mn at my bike on the HT wondering how I can manage once PT starts. I was thinking about having the shoes already clipped in the pedal and to put the shoe once on the bike to avoid falling while walking with cleats, but I have no arms to tighten the shoes. So I have to mount with the shoes on. Considering my flexibility I think I will need a step to help pass the legā¦
man, every little thing in life is so complicated with both arms goneā¦ (scratching nose with a stick in disbelief)
I broke my first one (left) when I was in college in the 80s. My Specialized Rockhopper was my sole transportation to school, work at a full service station, and bars (how I broke it at 1:30am on Jan 1st 
). I have no idea how my bike and I made it the 2 miles home from where I fell (I remember falling twice). Woke up in bed, and couldnāt sit up because of the pain of the bone ends sliding past each other. Thankfully, there was a city bus stop right in front of my house, but riding that bus around town was not comfortable.
Do all the right stuff for your recovery. That collarbone didnāt heal very well aligned (they just gave me an X-strap and sling). When I cracked the collarbone on the other side, and tore my AC (ligament connects the end of the CB to the shoulder) about 7 years ago, the x-ray tech started questioning if I was having pain in my left shoulder/collarbone, tooā¦no, thatās a break from ā94, lol. Anyway, Iāve been having impingement, arthritis/bone spur, and nerve issues in and around that left shoulder for the last decade, and not sure some of the issue isnāt from that old collarbone misalignment. Hasnāt kept me off the bike, though 
.
@rizaulait2 First of all, I hope you heal up soon! Two broken collar bones?! Ooof.
Well, it it were me and I HAD to get on the bike, Iād have my wife swap out my LOOK pedals for flats, and Iād get a pair of walking shoes that closed via velcro, rather than laces.
And then Iād buy the cheapest standing desk possible and raise it up and put a pillow on it in case fell forward.
But honestly, the safest thing might be to buy a cheap walking pad and just walk at a slow speed to keep up some sort of movement and deal with the bike when youāre further along the healing path.
Best of luck to you and let us know how you get along!
