When you say the word "handlebar" to different riders, it means different things. Depending on what you ride, you might picture a tubular piece of steel in a certain shape and diameter, of course.
But what if you have clip-ons, and there's nothing but the big, thick, angular top of a triple clamp to which they're attached? Or what if you ride a modern twist-and-go scooter, and it has plastic body cladding obscuring the metal handlebar part underneath?
