I'm so stealing this idea...patent pending, of course.
I have considered Bar Mitts for the occasional days in the single digit degrees F, but I am planning to try the above idea first when we get such a day. I’ve already finshed eating the box of spinach.
I also have front brake levers, but I think the box is deep and wide enough to fit. What I plan to do is to cut opposite notches on the two edges of the lip of the box near both ends. I thought I would use rubber bands to secure the box to the handlebars and the bands would sit in the notches to keep them in place. I may also cut some notches on the edges of the ends of the box so the handlebar will sit in them. I’ll post the results when it happens.
