All I know is that I replaced the Clem Bosco bars with the Chocomoose from
Blue Lug and now it rides like a dream. Part of the problem is that I'm
heavy, and in start-stop traffic in NYC I would sometimes put a lot of
force on the bars and move them in the stem, regardless of how tight I had

And while that stand that I linked to is long, it does break down
flat. I've carried longer things on my bike, but I can see that it
might not be great for you.

I thank you for your consideration for others, Eric. In NYC, most bike
lights that I see are mounted on temporary mounts (because you have to take
them off so they don't get stolen), and in my experience driving all over
the country, many, many motorists do not have their headlights focused
Unless you're in the country without street lights, Why would someone ride
with a super-high lumens headlight? I argued this with a fellow cyclist
friend who was bragging that his headlight is "blinding." To what purpose?!
If you must, point it angled downward so you can see potholes or the road.

I'm one of those who act like "bars bend and flex in hands like wet
noodles." Well, not exactly, but I've been in two near-collisions in NYC
traffic where I exerted enough force on the bars to twist them downward in
the clamp. I love the stability of my boscomoose bars and I'm considering
getting
I will check them out! Thanks!

I was on a budget and bought this $80 3 bike rack from Amazon:

I took two Clems, fully fendered, and an REI kids bike to the Outer Banks

research and ended up choosing a used 2004 VW Passat Wagon. It has a

Hi Nerl,
I have a bunch of miscellaneous parts including bars, stems, pedals, etc.
But I'm not as smart or organized as anyone else on the list. I live in

pretty inexpensive to get into building electronics. You can start with
some simple hand tools (screwdrivers, wrenches) and an entry-level
soldering iron. As with bikes, you can crank up the geekiness (and

I used the Velo Orange porteur double kickstand on a Civia Twin City bike
with a Bobike rear child seat. It was excellent. I originally used it for
keeping the bike steady when loading it heavily; when I started carrying my
kid on it I kept using the same kickstand. Never a problem. I also used
I switched to bosco moose on my Riv-built Clem for this reason. I'm a big
guy, and a couple of times at very sudden stops, I moved the bars in the
stem significantly. The integrated stem removes any worry.

Hi all,
$25 plus shipping (or local pickup in Brooklyn, NY) for both. I rode them
home from the bike shop and promptly replaced them with 27.5 x 2 Big Bens.
They're practically new.
I'm in Park Slope, Brooklyn for anyone local.
Take care,
David
