No idea what he's saying, but making that change at speed? Hmmm.

Assuming safety concerns are ironed-out, I'd rock those. That's are really neat innovation.

No but I can loosen the stem clamp and rotate the bars up to make a sweet upright rider.

Looks like the quick release is located under the curve to the levers. thats a possition i rather like to be in for some reason. Guess it will learn to be flexible when i get launched into aeropossition without notice .)

Ive had this idea for years using pivot joint that is spring loaded, ala swept wing aircraft like a b-1.

Even made a mock up out of pic pipe one bored winter.

Those are way too far to the center for good stability. If there it were designed more like an aero bar from the beginning for the under portion of the forearm to brace the bar it would be stable.

Cool. Thanks for the link. I wasn't sure who even made them
