bar extenders. I put them on my bike and they made a world of difference in hand comfort.
As was mentioned above clipon aerobars add both comfort and speed with no extra effort. Maybe not such a good idea in the middle of a paceline but great when it’s your turn to take a pull out front. I don’t think they are allowed in UCI sanctioned events, but they only take a minute to take off.
