I got one of those surly cornerbars (offbrand) and they're fucking great, would recommend to everyone. Easily the most comfy handlebars I've ever owned.
Also currently trying to piece together the perfect small size at most medium weight bicycle EDC pouch to chuck in my panniers so I can field repair my entire shit and also help other people.
Pretty sure I'll put some bar ends in there just to slap them into random bicycles so people don't core sample themselves. I am the velocipedal crusader, you will be saved from doctors having to extract a tubular 21mm cross section of yourself so they can figure out what the fuck you managed to lose because you didn't think to put 50 eurodollarcents of bar ends on your stuff.

Replaced my old car with an ebike back in June and I just passed 1.2k km on the odometer, fuckin love this thing. Had a weird catastrophic failure recently where the screws popped off the motor faceplate, thankfully I had one left to size check some replacements when support got me nowhere, but after finding the right machine screws I'm back in business.
I got a back rack with a wire basket so I can get groceries, it's so keener. I've been racking the web for a front basket/rack seeing as my frame has some pre-set screws for one, but the company I bought it off doesn't seem to have one available, maybe not in Canada. I found a few that may but it's a pretty expensive risk for a basket that may not fit, those things can cost a pretty penny.
I just ordered a studded tire now that it's getting colder, I intend to try and bike to and fro as much as possible.

Just jury rig that shit with some zip ties honestly. Maybe some metal affixings with old tube on the hang points to not scratch your shit. I got a collapsible wire basket on one side of my rack and it is so, so, fucking good man.

Studded bicycle tyres are fucking hilarious to see other people witness because no one knows they exist. Car drivers look at me in awe as I pull a 15° corner lean at 30kph on my bicycle, wondering how I'm not eating shit. It takes like 5 minutes of not trusting them before you're ready to huck yourself down a bobsled track. So much fucking grip.
