I'm 77 years old and had lung cancer nearly 3 years ago so only have one lung but still like to cycle. I ride a Bianchi Impulso E Road which has a Pollini EP3 Motor. Unfortunately at my age I also have all sorts of neck issues when I tilt my head upwards so plan to convert the bike from drops to flats get a more upright position. I'm aware that putting flat bars a on a road bike can cause all sorts of problems because of the geometry of a road frame etc and it would be better if I just bought a touring bike. Cost is prohibitive though so I want to go the conversion route. Biggest issue are the handle bars and the amount of backsweep I think I need to keep me upright. Any advice from other cyclists would be appreciated.
