Wider handle bars and the shop should be able to assist in choosing width. There is a formula based on shoulder width that works for most and as such my two main rides have 42 cm bars. But one thing I like about my old bike- that I still occasionally ride- is the comfort of the bars on the body. That has 44cm wide bars and that width does add to the comfort on a ride. Not that the 42s are uncomfortable but the 44s feel better for me.

Time to upgrade the bars on the bikes again
