MacKenzy, Since, I have owned my Clem "L" bike with Bosco bars from last September, I primarily remain seated and spin. My pace of riding is mostly slow and easy going. I do not feel the need to stand up in the pedals, except only to get temporary relief from sitting in the saddle too long for a short while. Upon doing this, I find my hand position changes onto the upper bend of the handlebars from my grips.
