Cycling after healed broken wrist

Try drop bars but ride them on the hoods, not on the drops. Any local bike shop worth its salt will be happy to demonstrate. You'll have a wider variety of hand positions and you don't need to grip anywhere near as hard as with flat bars - you can just wrap your hands gently round the hoods. I moved from flat bars to drops a few years ago and wouldn't go back, simply because of how lightly you can grip them.0

Would it be worth going in for a professional bike fit to see if they can work out a different sitting position? E.g. moving saddle back/forwards, longer stem, raising the bars etc.0
