Those bars are a bold statement, my friend, no irony or sarcasm intended, you are a brave guy to post 'em here for the naysayers and serious cyclists to sneer at. I'll offer, in solidarity, that what works for you, works for you. I hate flat bars, they don't work for me. I added a set of extenders to my flat bars like those horns you have sticking out of yours, and it worked great for me. I ignored every serious biker who sneered at them. Straight flat bars kill my shoulders, I just can't keep my hands in that position very long, I need to rotate my hands to the extender position or use old fashioned touring bars. I can't bend over long enough to ride drop bars. Maybe I should stay in the 50+ riders section, eh? I wouldn't be caught dead with aero bars, mainly because you could look at me and tell they were strictly for show and I can't even use them, but I bet you wouldn't be caught dead riding with the ape hangers I have on most of my bikes. To each his own, and whatever works for you keeps you on a bike, where you belong.
