Whether you're pottering about Greenwich Village on a vintage Raleigh or beating the heck out of a late-nineties Specialized Hardrock commuting across Seattle, why not do it in comfort? While it's an easy, relatively simple modification from a technical standpoint, nothing has a more dramatic effect on your ride than a big handlebar swap. You'll sit upright, spine straight and comfortable; and you won't be leaning on your hands. Let's not forget that -- if nothing else -- we look far better when we're not crouched over into a position designed more for its aerodynamics than its ergonomic sustainability.
