    those elkhorn bars really, really need to go.

    how about something like this: an ergonomic handlebar -




    only pic i found is of one with adjustable angle, there are others out there. the brake levers will have to go as well.
    It's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.

    Yeah, I agree, I don't think that's a safe way to ride.

    I hate to suggest this, but is your husband really not interested in drop bars? Not everybody is. Many people ride very happily on hybrids and never want to "upgrade." Sadie Kate offered a really good compromise, I think, but maybe it is just not his bike.
