Any of those would be good choices, with the caveat of "so long as they fit you and are comfortable". I know where a Space Horse and a LHT is regularly locked up as a commuter around me too, if you are looking for a dual role bike tehy apparently fit that well. If/when you are healthy enough, get on a couple and test them out, I'm guessing one will "speak" to you!

A proper fit goes far beyond adjusting the saddle and handlebars. Various components may be swapped out or added based on physical differences in the riders body.. For someone coming off an accident this is especially important. And the fit might even change as rehab progresses.

In summary please see a doctor.


My doctors know as much about cycling as you do about the innards of a gnat (and now, I'm REALLY hoping you aren't an entymologist ). I'm not going to a doctor for anything besides a determination on when I am healthy enough to exercise.

He is not asking about medical advice, he is asking about bike advice. Your point to see a good fitter is relevant, but you're not finding that at most doctor's office.
