Is cyling a good sport for shorter people?!

Is cyling a good sport for shorter people?

I'm not too tall 5' 6" and I'm getting reconstructive knee surgery for an old torn cruciate ligament injury,

and so I'm looking for a new sport that will be easy on my knee (no impact, no twisting) and I like the idea of cycling, I bought a decent bike cause I cycle to work every day (4 miles total).

I just think that because your on wheels and pedal, long legs aren't an advantage, there's less bodily wind resistance and the lower centre of gravity is probably better.

Am I right or can anyone inform me otherwise?

P.s All this aside i really enjoy it so this is really out of curiosity.

Thanks!
