I see that yours are turned in the other direction. Is that your personal preference?
Bikes are so personal. Unlike other vehicles (except maybe the old VW Beetle) they can be customized into any color or configuration to suit the rider.
Seemed easier for me...I have pretty bad Carpel tunnel, so anything that eases the strain. I think the leverage is better, plus it looks evil on the black, white and pink bike. I put aero bars on the taxibike, they problably look silly, but they're so comfortable and ease the pressure on my hands.
