| Sep 25, 2016 at 17:36 | comment | added | Willeke♦ | While most recumbent bikes are expensive, there are several cheaper models out there. My curent one is often for sale for about $US 300, here in the Netherlands. So if you are considering one and the price keeps you back, look at the second hand market. Local brands will likely have the lowest prices. | |
| Sep 23, 2016 at 18:28 | comment | added | Daniel R Hicks | And another idea that I've tossed around a bit is having master/slave brakes, such that force from the rear brake is used to actuate the front brake. With disk brakes this would be done by having the rear caliper on a rotating mount such that it "spins" slightly when the brakes are applied, and a cable from there to the front brake actuates the front. | |
| Sep 23, 2016 at 18:25 | comment | added | Daniel R Hicks | Continuing with Andy's comment, it would be possible in some cases to remount the right-hand brake lever to some sort of (possibly flexible) "stick" that is positioned more conveniently for the gimpy arm. | |

| Sep 11, 2016 at 9:52 | comment | added | andy256 | Hmm. Most comments and all answers seem to assume you have no use of that arm, essentially because of the headline question. Is that the case? Do you have to hold the arm in a sling, or could you put the hand on the (flat) bar, and use other other arm for everything? On one hand, that may mean you could use the brakes, on the other hand, there is a risk of further injury. | |

| Sep 9, 2016 at 12:50 | comment | added | Kibbee | I would say that any form of cycling you find should be done with caution and if you are looking to stay in shape, any kind of intense riding should be left to the turbo trainer. | |

| Sep 8, 2016 at 2:29 | comment | added | Batman | @RoboKaren - mtb-amputee.com/ArmAmputees.htm ; should be possible. I'd probably go for a trike though. | |
| Sep 8, 2016 at 2:20 | comment | added | Daniel R Hicks | Either a tandem (riding stoker) or a tiller-steered trike, I would say. | |
| Sep 8, 2016 at 1:21 | comment | added | RoboKaren | Not sure how long the disjunction will last. Depends on blood flow to the joint. But looking to be in rehab at least a year - if things go well. Tandem is an idea although not ideal for the city. | |
| Sep 8, 2016 at 1:14 | comment | added | Criggie♦ | A relatively sit-up trike with back-pedal brakes might be safest for solo riding, and a lot cheaper than a recumbent (they seem to be astronomically expensive!) Though underseat steering on a `bent might be good for your shoulder. | |
| Sep 8, 2016 at 1:12 | comment | added | Criggie♦ | Is this a long-term/permanent injury ? or is it healing back to full function over time? Do you have a riding partner who might want to switch to a tandem for a bit? | |
| Sep 8, 2016 at 0:58 | comment | added | rclocher3 | Maybe a recumbent or a trike steered by a tiller? | |

| Sep 8, 2016 at 0:40 | comment | added | RoboKaren | As a comment: If it were my dominant hand that worked, I would risk riding my current bikes one-handed. Sadly I'm right handed and broke my right shoulder. The amputee cycling sites I've seen are for lower limbs or track cycling (i.e., controlled conditions), but I could be wrong... thx. | |
| Sep 8, 2016 at 0:39 | comment | added | BSO rider | Hard braking with one hand on the bar... not fun. | |
| Sep 8, 2016 at 0:39 | comment | added | Batman | I don't know the answer, but there are resources for amputee cycling so it should work | |
