I feel kind of silly asking this since I briefly owned a Schwinn CrissCross with this style of bars but my ownership of the bike was so brief that I never actually rode it. [Purchased used on Craigslist one weekend, sold the next weekend because the frame was too small.]
I'm investigating options for a new handlebar for the captain position on my wife and I's tandem. Right now it has super-wide riser bars that go beyond MTB and into cruiser bar territory. I added some bar ends for an additional hand position but (as my other thread states) we are planning on doing some touring later in the year and I'm wondering is a butterfly bar would be better?
Has anyone ever done any mountain or rail-trail touring with a set of "butterfly" or trekking bars?
What did you think of them?
