HI All

The purpose for starting this thread is to get some guidance on devices/tips for adapting to cycle with 1 arm (if the subject wasn't clear enough).
My case in particular, is a left arm amputation above the elbow.

I apologize in advance if there is an existing thread that already speaks to this and if there is please direct me to it, if there isn't then perhaps this thread can be hijacked by anyone in similar circumstances who needs the advice or just a place to go to for the best solution to their needs.

My story is simple... I was in a motorbike accident and lost my arm left arm. I feel that I can do anything I put my mind to and cycling is the next challenge for me.
I just got myself a road bike and rode around the block a few times to see if I am able to cycle.
I find the keeping the bike straight might be somewhat challenging and anticipate that climbing a hill will be hard.
I feel that I need a device that can attach to the left handlebar and connect to my arm so that i can get enough power and balance into the bike.
Also all the advice for a new cyclist with 1 arm will be great.

Thanks in advance for any input towards a better ride
