Handlebar moustaches - ergonomically useful or just hipster fashion? And to keep this bicycle related - you can save time by waxing it and your chain in one sitting.
A wisecrack from someone who will probably never mount either on my bike or face. Drop bars simply work too well for me. As for my face, well the beard I had for 20 years neatly hide my growing jowls. Shaved it for better mask fit. (First look in the mirror was a shock!) May well go back. But the handlebars would do nothing for my jowls.
I shaved my beard several years ago, for the first time in 25 years, and I was shocked to find jowls under there! Grew it right back and there it will remain. As far as handlebar moustaches and moustache handlebars, I can appreciate the aesthetic, but probably not for me.
