I got one of those surly cornerbars (offbrand) and they’re fucking great, would recommend to everyone. Easily the most comfy handlebars I’ve ever owned.
Also currently trying to piece together the perfect small size at most medium weight bicycle EDC pouch to chuck in my panniers so I can field repair my entire shit and also help other people.
Pretty sure I’ll put some bar ends in there just to slap them into random bicycles so people don’t core sample themselves. I am the velocipedal crusader, you will be saved from doctors having to extract a tubular 21mm cross section of yourself so they can figure out what the fuck you managed to lose because you didn’t think to put 50 eurodollarcents of bar ends on your stuff.
Put my bike on the train from LA to Chicago then did a bikepacking trip from Chicago through Wisconsin and Minnesota. The Gravel paths were amazing. Also, the drivers were amazingly friendly, at least compared to LA. Thinking of trying the East Coast Greenway next summer.
