Wide angle lens makes it look shorter in length and taller in height.
Bars are super narrow, as narrow as possible - levers moved all the way in, grips cut down to the width of my hands.
I guess no one has said boo when I rode the mountain bike, but when I rode it, it was definitely known to be a casual ride. So either with very experienced (but not fit) riders, or with not experienced riders. So the bars and such weren't an issue.
