Thanks for the offer and for the suggestion. Bar ends and trekking bars all share the same feature: the forward position is also the wide position, and these bars are always too wide for my comfort.
Back 20 years ago, when I had real mountain bikes, I'd cut 50 mm off each end of my bar before installing the bar ends. Then I switched to drop bars. I think that I'll scare up a drop bar and try that, both with and without this extension thingie I recently got from JB on this list. If they don't complicate folding too much, then voila. If they do, then too bad. Of all the many, many alternatives to the drop bar that I've ridden, the M bar is one of the least bad -- for my idiosyncracies, of course. Isn't it interesting how the drop bar is one of the oldest styles continually available throughout its history? There's gotta be a reason.
