In this video I review the pros and cons of butterfly bars/trekking handlebars. I switched to butterfly bars a year and a half ago in order to address wrist pain I was dealing with on drop bars. They have made a huge difference for me, but I also learned some unfortunate lessons along the way. I hope this video helps you determine if butterfly/trekking bars might be the right change for you too.
