I've got a Dutch style single speed bike with sit up and beg/high handlebars but I want to change them because I feel my ride could be significantly more comfortable if I had multiple hand position options. I don't like drop bars so I don't consider that an an option and prior to this bike I rode on straight bars.

I am considering getting butterfly/trekking bars and seeing how I get on with those. The longest journey I'll take is a 18-20 mile round trip but that only rarely

Any other types of bar and what are the pros and cons of butterfly bars
>>
used them a long time ago for same reason you want them -assumed more positions would be more comfortable

figured out, that I was only using 1 position on them after a while -the comfortable one

switched to simpler bars that achieve that 1 perfect position


Get an On One Mary bar (or one the clones)
Or possible a Mustache bar

and get your stem length sorted out -that's just as big a factor

what's special about the on 1 Mary bar? Googled it and people says it's weird but works

look at how your wrists work

it puts them at the angle that they go to naturally when relaxed

This is my bike. From the images I've googled it looks like a mix between the On One Mungo and Mary. Seems like the bike is as ergonomical as I can for a single hand position bike

gotta swap those rubber grips from some real Ergons with the lock-on clamps so they don't rotate over time

Hold 2 pencils in your hands. Let your arms hang completely loose. Now raise them in front of you, what angle do they create? There's your answer.

I'm ordering the nashbar trekking bars and am gonna set them up this weekend. I think they'll be perfect for me, because I like the side position my bar ends have for climbing, but i want a forward position too
