Forgot to mention one thing: When I am climbing steep and bumpy (unpaved) ascent, gripping near center of the bars for forward-leaned position allows little leverage, so I have some difficulty maneuvering my bike. When I grip ends, my hands are too far apart, and my body is in too much upright position, so I have difficulty putting more power on pedals.
If you're resorting to LCG (=walking), no problem. (Though you'll have to watch out so that wide handlebar don't hit your ribs) Once you reach the highest point, wide handlebar lets you descend with confidence. Good luck!
