Also, she checked out some tri/tt style thingies (sorry for lack of terminology) that would allow her to rest her forearms down when her wrists and hands get tired. Do any of these things work for bullhorns or pursuits? She was messing with my rb021pursuit style bullhorns and says she can rest her forearms down the middle of those, but that just sounds sketchy to me.
Yes. Aerobars are sketchy and should never be used except on a closed course.

If she switched her bike to more of an upright beach cruiser / townie type setup, there would be little to no pressure on the hands.
