All the while dodging all of the idiots who can't get their face away from those stupid "smart" phones. Built my 1x10 Cx/Hybrid as a flat bar just for this. You have to have constant and total access to both shifter and brakes. I have my 780 shifter set for 2 click upshift and 4 click down and the DB's are tight. Heads Up!!
A good reason to stay off the sidewalk.
