Is BikeERG a good option for heart bypass surgery (CABG) recovery?
I'm two weeks out from this procedure and need to be walking ~40 minutes/day. Unfortunately it's super hot outside and circling my living room is driving me crazy so I'm shopping for a bike.
I have a RowERG that I love but that I'm not able to use right now, so the BikeERG is my first choice. The issue is that I shouldn't be putting very much weight on my arms, and the photos and videos that I've seen of the BikeERG almost all use the handlebars configured in a way where you're leaning over them, holding your upper body up with your arms.
I saw it mentioned somewhere that the handlebars can be rotated 180 degrees to provide a more upright grip, but I don't see much discussion on this configuration. Can anyone tell me if this (or any other BikeERG config) would allow me to use it basically hands-free, or with only using my hands/arms for balance?
