Aerodynamic Handlebars
Aerodynamic or “Triathlon” handlebar extensions
are fitted to some triathlon or racing bikes. They are
also added by customers. Understand that when
riding on these extensions your steering and
braking are adversely affected. When on the
extensions, most riders find it hard to look back over
their shoulder without swerving, inadvertently
steering. Some riders find it harder to move their
head/neck to see forward. Be sure to practice
riding with aero handlebar extensions on hazard
and traffic free roads. Practice the transition from
having your hands on the extensions to having your
hands on the regular handlebars and brake levers.
