There are so many different types of handlebars that it can be overwhelming to decide which style you should use for your commuting or urban bike life. So here I try to simplify everything by breaking down 5 of the most popular styles of bars -- riser bars, flat bars, bullhorns, drop bars and cruiser handelbars. And I've come up with some categories to rate them in: Speed, comfort, control, practicality and the intangibles.
