Riding with Mrs. Z !

I really enjoy my double ride days, and seeing how much my wife has really taken to her bike. She has even talked about having me get studded tires for her bike so she could join me ever now and then come winter. Next thing you know is I'll be adding more hooks to the bike cave for her future stable.

hey cool! Looks like the mrs is on plus tires?

Also I notice you tend to keep your hands over the shifters, thumbs on top, rather than out at the end of the bars on the grips. Do you find the full bar width too wide, or save that max leverage for touchy steering situations?

Yes Mrs. Z is on plus tires.

It's called me being lazy and not cutting my bar to make the width shorter.
