Underrated advantage of upright, especially when I lived in colder climes
(western Montana), was being able to layer however I wanted without
everything bunching up when I bent over. You also get less wind up your
collar and can wear a broader brimmed hat and still see. I kept the bars
and will have a bike for them again someday...
