Hahaha, thanks Paul, yeah the weird bars were polarizing as one would expect - most in the "it's ugly" camp, many in the "if it works, rock it!" camp (who may or may not be in the first camp), and a few who genuinely liked the look it seems. The handlebar I keep eyeing that I think would look

Gosh I'm glad the story has been enjoyable! It felt a little self-indulgent as I wrote it; I just wanted to share this ride with others and unfortunately I can only do so virtually right now. Robert - we don't get a lot of snowfall at lower elevations here, since we're right on the coast.
