What are you currently riding? I cannot put weight on my wrists due to nerve damage there. I opted for a bike with a sloping top tube and put a higher stem on it. That got the bars significantly above the seat. Disc brakes help me a lot, also. Ditto to drop bars where I can ride with a light touch in the hoods. There are lots of options, including but certainly not limited to a hybrid.

Sooooo I've been thinking recumbent or a more upright city bike. My concerns are with a more upright style city bike type, A. heavy and slow, B. I don't think I'm old enough for a city type bike. With a recumbent A. I live in a very high traffic area, so will people see me? and B. I wonder how long it will take to get used to riding one.
