1) I believe your premise to be faulty. In my experience safety for cyclists in the city comes from good infrastructure, then driver awareness then cyclist behavior.
2) Any Riv where your hands are above the saddle will give you the relaxed feeling you seek. I ride a Saluki with MAP bars and can ride both relaxed and aggressive. The same bike with drop bars set fairly high gave me a similar feeling. I feel as if the Sam or the AHH are the perfect gateway bikes. I personally cannot get along with the angle that Albatross and Billie bars demand my wrists to be at. So I would either wait for the Wavvvvvvvie Gravy bar or buy the Billie/Albatross build kit and then put a bar with a less parallel to the top tube angle allowing you to reuse stem, shifters, etc. -J -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
