Hello,

Well this is my first bike since childhood (I'm 46). I was knocked down 6mths go by multiple sclerosis and decided I was getting back up with the goal to participate in the Sydney to the Gong MS fundraising race in November this year (50KLM)

I purchased a 2018 Giant Roam 3, had my first ride today and survived! Now focussed on improving my balance, coordination and exercise tolerance

One immediate challenge is my posture - I have a lesion in my cervical spinal cord which causes numbness, electric shocks if my neck is in flexion. Ideally I need the handlebars as high a practicable.

The question - is there some type of handle bar or mod that would give me the option of a higher handle bar?

Thanks in anticipation
They make adjustable angle stems, or possibly add some headset spacers.
