Product Information

Gazelle is the leading player in the evolution of the Dutch bike. With an upright design, their bikes are designed for a truly comfortable ride. But this also, as Gazelle feels, “represents an open attitude towards the world around you and the people in it”. The culture of cycling plays a key role in their ethos. Designed in Amsterdam and hand-made in European factories, Veloretti bikes have a clean, chic and timeless design, and are crafted for quality and performance.

I have photoshopped the image in the original post to resemble what it looks like to 'turn the bar ends towards you'. Sometimes you just want to go fast and the only way to accomplish this is to outfit your fixed gear bicycle with a set of performance fixie handlebars.The bullhorn handlebars, like these above from Bontrager, provide a reasonable level of aerodynamics, excel at hills, provide an average top speed, and just generally look cool. On the bike, we do put weight on the handlebars a whole lot more, and emergencies can throw us from the bike! Width is most important if you require leverage and want better control over your ride. Mountain bikes and BMX bikes usually require more width than say a traditional road bike.

The handlebar’s clamp diameter is also important and usually between 25.4mm and 31.8 mm, though 35mm is also a known option. When choosing the right road bike stem, the best thing to do is to get on your bicycle, with both hands on the shifters, then looking down at your front hub. If you can see the front hub, the stem is too short. On that bike the fork had a vertical steerer and about 10mm of trail, so it was kinda twitchy. But the handlebars were 2m behind that and geared up slightly, so the overall effect was more "land whale" than "twitchy mess". Albeit having the rider over the rear axle also meant that there was no way to ride the bike without dealing with the weirdness. I liked it, but other people found it hard to ride. "does not ride like a normal bike"... ya think? :) With all the models available, Gazelle offers something for everyone. But one thing all the bikes undeniably have in common, is that they are very beautiful. Are Gazelle Bikes Made in Holland? The step-through frame enables easy mounting and dismounting, and the high handlebars and upright position result in a super-comfortable and visible riding style. They generally don’t have a huge range of gears, but this compliments a country with few hills, and also means there’s less to go wrong.This recumbent has tiller steering. The main difference is a turn can put some part of the bars and stem in the way of the outside knee rising.

TT Handlebars and Aero Bars

This is simply different to a conventional stem setup, and is not inherently less safe or less stable. It is quite different in terms of riding, so its going to feel odd. Bike handlebars play an important part in the way you ride your fixed gear bicycle just as much as flip flip hubs do. There are several types of handlebars you can outfit on your ride and each of them will offer different levels of comfort, versatility, leverage, aerodynamics, and control. For road and gravel cowbell-shaped handlebars, the drop is the amount of distance from the top of the handlebar to the bottom of the bells. Sweep or Flare

Handlebars in the comfort class are designed to make your fixie bike more comfortable and suited for casual or longer rides. There does not seem to be a strict rule of whether hands forward, at, or rear of the steering axis makes a particular situation safe or dangerous. In general, there seems to be a mix of influences on handling (and danger from turning-when-braking) depending on such things as: Dutch bicycles are a style of urban commuting bikes that have been used in the Netherlands for decades and have grown in popularity in cities around the world. These bikes have a surprisingly tall frame, which allows the rider an excellent view of the road in front of them. Better yet, many Dutch bicycles feature a step-through frame that allows you to swing a leg over no matter how formal your work clothes are.Traditional Dutch bicycles were mainly single-speed bikes with steel frames – there are few hills in Dutch cities, so there was little need for adaptations for climbing and descending. In the same vein, most Dutch bicycles were made with coaster brakes rather than rim brakes.You can still get Dutch bikes with those features, but they’re no longer a requirement. Today, you can find Dutch bikes made from aluminium to reduce their weight, as well as options for gearing. Coaster brakes remain popular, but roller brakes and V brakes are also available for many models. What is special about a Dutch bike?

Spend a fraction of that on a dutch-style handlebar and install it on my bike. I'd need longer cables too, and maybe a wider seat in case the increased weight on it makes it uncomfortable, but it's still cheaper and I end up with a better bike than in option 1. Long answer: Unless you are riding with your hands off the handlebars what matters is the position of your hands relative to the steering axis. As long as your hands are a reasonable distance apart, most people can adapt to anywhere from about 20cm in front of to 10cm behind the steerer tube without much effort. That's the difference between drop bars and M bars. Look at the variety of positions that cycle tourists use, for example. If you're comfortable holding the handlebars that matters a lot more than minor changes to how the steering feels.

MTB Handlebars

But like any bike, fixed gear bicycles can be made a lot better with small upgrades like changing to one of the many fixie handlebar types out there. The ape handlebar is the perfect choice for you if you are a fan of the cruiser handlebar. This handlebar takes the cruiser handlebar to the next level. Ape handlebars extend well past the riders shoulders and keep them in a constant upright position.
