Can't we work in a discussion of how wearing a helmet affects handling in high
or low trail bikes? You know, start multi-tasking these crucial issues? Oh, and
be sure to include a bar bag, and refer to a Roadeo to stay on topic...

I just don't have that experience.
(And, chiming in on the trail/handling discussion: It seems that after riding a
few minutes, I am used to whichever trail the bike I am on has. Objectively
speaking, I prefer my Ram for handling f any of the bikes, for it's "rides on
rails" feel of surefooted tracking. I never worry about fast cornering on that
bike. That said, my much twitchier Waterford built Riv Road is very adept at
dodging chuck holes and other corrections which pop up when one's eyes leave
the road to admire the scenery. Neither bike sports a handlebar bag)
