Making the Panama Jack more comfortable?
Greetings All from Texas!! I just bought a Panama Jack and love it, I think the looks are fantastic, as well as the built in amenities like cooler, adjustable rear rack and bottle opener. I bought it because I wish to take off the weight I put on over the holidays (15lbs!!!!) and thought bike riding would benefit me.
After the first ride home, I thought to myself "Boy is my ass sore!", BUT I honestly have not really ridden a bicycle in about 30 years either (I'm 44). Yesterday I went to Academy and replaced the stock seat with a memory foam seat and the ride is better.
Now I am wanting to change the default handlebars as the ones that it comes with are fine for around the neighborhood cruising, but I am riding my bike about 11 miles each way to/from work and find that they are a bit narrow and would like some bars a bit closer to me and farther/angled out.
Are beach bike handlebars the same girth normally? I've had many motorcycles and typ[ically they come with 1 inch bars, im not certain what bars will fit on my Panama.
Could someone recommend a set of handlebars that would bolt right to a Huffy Panama Jack please?
