I returned to cycling nearly 23 years ago and have 5 bikes. None of my bikes have had drop down handlebars. So I've always cycled somewhat upright....meaning something similar to mountain bike position..slightly upright (well maybe I maybe more upright but not like the Dutch uprights that we stereotypically may know) but leaning a tad forward on handlebars.
I also have bike toured with panniers in this position for long, multi-wk. bike trips.
NY bike, thanks for suggestion on sunglasses. I don't see this brand at all in bike stores in the major Canadian cities where I visit . I do drop by bike stores whenever I go out of town. I nearly bought a pair in Seattle but somehow I got distracted by another cycling gear purchase.![]()




I am not giving up on my Gunnar yet, but this might worth considering in the future if it does turn out that my limitation is permanent.
