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.

I feel this. What helped me was making it an errand, even if the car was nominally faster. But time spent biking is exercise, which is good, time sitting in a car just burns money.

Or you could go for the coffee-ride. Ride somewhere, get a treat, ride back. Just to have a goal.

Alternatively you could just go for something like wandrer - there's similar services. Some gamification here helps.
