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.

500 miles in on my ebike since early Summer. I have a 10 year old truck and I'm convinced between both vehicles I will never buy a new automobile again.

Now obviously I hate cars but gotta say bicycle / truck is a working combination. Run something similar myself, basically just for things that are actually unrealistically far to go by bicycle or if I need to haul more shit than a bicycle can feasibly carry. Allthough I gotta get a bike trailer honestly, there's this missing middle where I feel dumb using a car but it also doesn't really carry well on my bike and I say that as someone who regularly rides short distances one handed carrying shit like a rain barrel in one hand

Conditions as they are, I own a house. I need a truck. I hate cars but this is reality and it's not changing any time soon.

That being said, my ebike baskets are big enough for a small haul from a grocery store. If my wife and I both go, we fill up for 2 or more weeks with room to spare.
