Bikes: Too many, yet not enough

It's really crazy about riser bars. First, it was popular to make them super narrow, presumably so you could easily split lanes in traffic. Now, they are ridiculously wide for no good reason that I can tell. I mean, do you really need that much leverage ? Anyway, at least you can easily cut them down, since they use lock on type grips that can be removed without destroying them.
Even that detail of the lock on grips, just goes to show the thought put into the design of this bike.

I'll probably end up with something like 600-650 for width. I'm not 100% sure what it is stock, but it's too much 😂.

Overall, the bike is sweet. I would have preferred a slightly different sizing, but I think I picked the right one.

The program at work is absolutely amazing. If they don't again next year, I'll order a Wabi. I'll pay some out of pocket, but it's up to $1200 a year so the rest of my money will go to my gym membership, the tires, and probably some running shoes for an upcoming sprint marathon I plan on doing. I've never worked at a company that offered anything like this, and I've been working longer than I care to admit.
