If you can ride MX a road bike will be no problem. I. Broke mine year's ago when racing.it wasn't set properly and did not heal properly.after that when racing at lydden got blow out on the rear,force or trying to keep some form of control broke small bones in the wrist. Anyway after a couple of ops over the years I. Have no movement in wrist but still ride on the road without to many problems. My surgeon who rides a fire blade told me not to ride sports bikes due to too much pressure on my wrist.stick with say an adventure style bike
