This is a sport utility vehicle. It is not limited to Sunday morning short rides when there is a nice weather. It is designed for in-town commuting and to resist the automobile peril. When I started looking for handlebars, I was confronted to the hostility of salespeople who had nothing for me and stated it was a bad idea, even for commuting: too high handlebards would be a problem when going uphill because the body would hit the handlebarsFinally I found handlebars, I changed cables and housings that were not long enough and I tested. All 4 previous statements are wrong: the height of the handlebars is not a problem when going uphillMoreover, my arms and my shoulders do not hurt anymore. I have been testing this bike in Vancouver since Spring 2003. In the beginning, people were making remarks because it was the only bike in that style. A year later, bikes with wide or high handlebars are more common. The rear basket, very much envied as well, allows me to carry 20 kg (44 lbs) of freight. |
