Moustache Handlebars: The Awful Truth
I love my new road bike for commuting. (Actually it's my old high-school bike, an 81 Lotus that was preserved in amber in my parents' garage.) It is superior in every way to the old Specialized hybrid (now and forever known as the minivan). Except in one way: I like those upright handlebars, and I like not having to dive forward to grab the brakes. I'm not crazy about commuting in traffic riding on the hoods. I keep hearing that moustache handlebars will solve this problem. Is it true? Or is there another option (that doesn't involve buying new brakes or levers)?
