Hello all,
My 16 year old daughter had a spinal fusion a couple years ago. She can bend her neck and hip, but it is fused all the way in between. Her Dr. said she can ride a bike. She can't twist her torso, and you can imagine how much weight she'd have to hold on her hands if she has to lean forward.
So, what sort of bike frame style should we concentrate on? I imagine she would be most comfortable on a bike that lets her sit up straight enough to balance a book on her head.
Anyone with first hand experience?
