from the Craigslist listing:

Vertical bars on handlebars are elbow rest for long-distance rides. Can be removed.

the bigfoot is fuckin with my head

why would i want basically ANY of these hand positions?

the upright ones look like how you’d steer a spaceship or something

the ones that extend towards the rider…how do you even hold onto them? they are angled approximately 100% of the opposite of the way that human wrists work?

I couldn’t unsee this at the new workplace we have recently merged with. Before I left to go home yesterdsy I fixed the bars. Got a chat from the woman today who was super grateful. I really don’t know how she rode it. There is at least one hill between her home and her workplace.

Rack fits great! Just roll the bars until they’re parallel with the down tube!
