Are we sacrificing safety and aesthetics for the sake of gadgetry on our handlebars? Ive seen riders with more gizmos attached to their bars than a Christmas tree, and its got me wondering: whats the most effective way to mount tech gadgets without creating a cluttered, distracting, and downright hazardous riding experience?
Is it really necessary to have a Garmin, a GoPro, a phone mount, and a bunch of other doohickeys vying for attention on our handlebars? Cant we find a more streamlined approach that doesnt compromise our ability to focus on the road ahead? Ive seen some riders using out-front mounts, while others swear by stem-mounted solutions – but what about the impact on aerodynamics and bike handling?
Lets get real, folks – are we prioritizing tech over technique, or can we find a way to marry the two without sacrificing the sanctity of our handlebars?
