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!Great contribution rctriplefresh911....
