From: dusk 'til dawn.

Bikes: everywhere

24.5" is the perfect width for me.

I got some 780mm risers on one bike that I ride around on some. It has a 130mm stem, though, which is WAY too long to pair with such wide bars. It's like steering a bus, have to push the bar SO far to make a turn.

Strangely riding one handed seems sketchier. Probably not used to weight distro, etc. Should probably grab bar farther in for one-hand ops, if I can live without brake.

My MB-3 has 22" bars. I gotta remember to reduce input when I'm riding that thing.

Biggest negative is how tough it is getting them though my apartment door. I'd probably have tomove into a place with a garage if I rode wide bars every day.
