i24 Posted January 24, 2020 Share A few advantages for bar ends: - They will protect you from getting impaled by the end of the bar in a crash, as has happened before.https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/131803-mtb-rider-dies-after-being-impaled-by-bike-in-witfontein-george/https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/97954-impaled-cycle-rider-back-on-her-feet/ - If you turn your bike upside down to fix a puncture or clean/lube the chain, they keep you leavers, computer and bell off the ground. If you worried about hooking vines and things, if you start with narrower bars before you put on the bar ends, it neutralizes the risk to some extent. If you slow down to my speed, the obstacles are more manageable. PS: I can also list some advantages of saddle bags, but I will save that for another thread.
