Hi Linda – Thank you for reading the blog. Biking is great exercise and it is good to think it through. Do you already have a bike? If not, an upright will be easier to maneuver than either a road or mountain bike. Recumbent cycling is another option as you are lower to the ground and less likely to get a head or arm injury.

If you already have a bike, you could try training wheels. Definitely use biking gloves. You could try semi-soft supports for the wrist/elbow but you would not want to use rigid supports as you need wrist/elbow movement to maneuver efficiently and safely. Take care and I hope you enjoy your ride!

Thank you!
