Just found this post. Here's a good example of cycling with one arm (and with only one leg: http://www.bicycle-adventures.com/one-arm-one-leg.html

Give Hilldodger a ping, he deals with this sort of thing all of the time at Cyclemagic.
User3143 for what it is worth, Jamie Andrew rides mountain bikes, he lost both arms and legs to frost bite in 1999, as he says "Remember, nothing is impossible!"

There is an information sheet by reach, which is a charity for children with upper limb deficiencies. It basically details how to adapt a bicycle for children with one useful arm. A lot of this could be useful for adults as well.

I'm also a one armed cyclist and happy to share my set up if useful. A small matter but just got new cycling gloves and have no need for the right glove so looking for a left arm amputee to donate to or swap with. Let me know.
I like it when I get notifications from old threads!
It could be useful to someone, worth sharing it here for anyone else searching the forum for similar information.

There's a one-armed cyclist round here who seems to do ok on a conventional flat barred road bike. Don't know how he fixes a puncture, though; maybe he uses Marathon Plus tyres and subscribes to a rescue service, or has a helpful partner with a car.
