Handlebars. Remember them? Everyone used to put them on their 5 speed racers,in the 70's. Great for wheelies,but rubbish for riding down the alleys without smashing your hands on the walls. Anyone got a set,or,where can I get a set,as someone gave me a hybrid type bike,and I would like a pair for it.
I think they decided that they were a fine way of making a mess so they stopped using them.. causing accidents catching on clothing and ending up inside the rider. I have a pair of old ex- rental bikes from the New Forest with them..
I had cowhorns on my bike. One day i was giving two of my mates a lift One sat on the seat (a backy ) the other was sat on the handle bars whilst going down a massive hill the right side of the handle bar snapped off sending the three of us carrying into a lamppost.

A bit like the old slam bars on bmx bike I've seen those end up on the inside of a rib cage after failed bar spin .
I had cow horn bars with a luggage rack fixed to them .air horns and my newspaper bag on the front .It handled just like a Bay
@crossy2112 had a pink bike with a basket on the front, the kids used to mock him but he didn't care, " sticks and stones " he would shout
I had cow horns and ape hangers that I put on my racer. Super cool but no good for swanning through traffic! I also had one like this from our American neighbours but in sparkling jaffa https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/2333164674...MI0LLmsczB5AIVRbTtCh2hCQqZEAQYBiABEgIkT_D_BwE
Russell White the posh kid from the private houses had a chopper bike, oh how I wanted a chopper bike
I remember he had a stunning looking sister, I asked her out a few times but she always turned me down, must of been a lesbian
I made some for my bike as a teenager, didn't consider that if I could bend the metal easily in a vice, they wouldn't stay that shape for long !
