No issues with the bar moving or feeling any different from a regular bar. I don't think about it until I pack the bike.
Blueberry is correct with all the answers she gave you about my bike. 
The handlebar is a Salsa Poco. One thing to keep in mind is when they split the bar, you lose a cm off the bar width. So I wished I'd gone up a size. I got the 38 Pocos and would have gotten the 40 had I known. The 38s ended up more like 37s, and I sometimes hit my knees on the bar-end shifters when I stand to pedal (which I don't do often) or on a sharp turn.
It feels just like any other handlebar.
Cheers,
Emily
