Yesterday the order from Niagara Cycle Works came in. I had ordered bar ends and a rear-view mirror.
I got the bar ends because my bicycle has straight handlebars. On a long ride my hands could get sore from being in one position without change. There are a couple ways to remedy this : different handlebars, or bar ends. The bar ends option was cheaper and less complicated, so I went with that.
As you can see in the picture, the bar ends attach to the ends of the handle bar. This adds another possible hand position, helping reduce stress on the hands.
I attached the mirror to the end of the left bar end. I originally wasn't going to get a mirror, but after riding more, I realized turning my head to see what's coming up behind me is inconvenient, and sometimes downright dangerous.
