I use to ride street racing cycles and had a neck injury which caused numbness in my hand and neck while riding so I stopped cycling decades ago. I would like to start cycling again. I know I can't do the kind of cycling I use to but would like to know what kind of bike I should be looking at. If I stay more upright while on the bike my hands don't numb up too much and my neck is fine. I don't want a beach bike with only one gear either because I'm older now and could use multiple gearing to get around. I would like to take some dirt bike paths in my community and stay off the streets. Is there a particular bike I should be looking for? I would appreciate some info before I talk to a salesperson in a bike shop trying to force me into buying something. Thanks for any info.
Look for a hybrid bike with 700c tires or a comfort/ pathway bike with 26" tires. They will have a more upright sitting position then a mountain or road bike. Usually neck and wrist pain is caused by an ill fitting bike. Getting the correct fit from a bike shop is the most important thing you can do for comfort.
