    What type of handle is good to use with injured shoulders?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    Go to a bike shop and get fitted to a bike. Otherwise, any handlebars with a slight sweep are fine. You just need to make sure your hips are in the right spot and everything else will follow.

    What is the measurement from the floor to the top of the rail?

    Community Answer
    Bikes are measured from the bottom bracket to the top tube along the seat tube. This is how you tell what size a bike is. Road bikes (with drop bars) are measured in mm while any other bike is measured in inches.

    On a road bike, which size wheel goes with which size frame?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    It depends on how many inches the tire is. If it's a 24-inch fork, it will be a 24-inch wheel.

    You may as a last resort. But you can rig it with old road-bike parts you may have in your shed.
